I'm about to set up a pair of '386 boxes, one with MeSsDOS and the other with
386/ix. The two parts I haven't decided on yet are the UPS and the modem.
Configuration looks like:
Looking_Glass:	25Mhz '386, 16Meg, Adaptect 1542 SCSI w/Maxtor 4380S
Wonderland: 16Mhz '386, 1Meg, Adaptect 2372C w/Micropolis 1335 and ST-277R.

The power here is a little flaky, 1-2 5-10 minute interuptions a week or so.
I want a UPS that will smooth spikes, and provide ~10 minutes power for both
boxes (and drives). Any recommendations?

Also, I'm in the market for a 2400 Baud external modem. What's hot these days?

Thanks!

P.S. The budget is a little tight, so I'd rather have a lower price than
nifty features.
