If you have power glitches sufficient to mess up your modem, it's likely
to also stress the workstation, too, particularly the drives. If your
power quality's that bad, you may have brownouts you don't notice and
such. All of this reduces the life of your equipment. I'd recommend a UPS
that has some power conditioning. They're getting fairly cheap now.
