Less important, I think, than a fast clamping surge suppressor - like a
Panamax. Since most of us do not have a connection via dial-up any longer a
surge suppressor for the telephone line hardly needed any longer. Although I
have seen more confusers fried from lightning strikes on a telephone line than
from power surges on the mains current.

I remember one poor guy who brought me his baby and said "Doc, can you do her
any good." So, I opened up the cover and saw the solder melted and dripping
down the circuit board for the internal modem and just put the cover back in
place. Told the customer the best thing I could do was write it up for his
insurance company.
 
The UPS is a nice convenience - but, not, I think necessary for most users.
Unless they are running a business or, as you, running a BBS, on their
equipment. I would be inconvenienced if I didn't have the UPS and came home to
find the computer off because of a power failure or glitch. But, so long as the
(multiple) Panamax performs as designed nothing should be fried.

      Title: Deep Fried Shrimp Balls
 Categories: Seafood, Oriental, Pork
      Yield: 5 servings
 
      1 lb Shrimp; peeled, deveined
      2 sl Streaky bacon
      4    Water chestnuts; minced
           +=OR=+
    1/2 md Onion; diced very fine
           Salt & pepper
      1 lg Egg; beaten
      2 tb Corn starch
           Oil; to deep fry
 
  Mince shrimp, bacon, onion or water chestnuts together until
  fine. Place mixture in bowl. Remove crusts from bread. Dice
  bread into very fine cubes. Place cubes in shrimp mixture.
  Add salt, pepper, egg and 2 tablespoons corn starch to
  mixture. Combine thoroughly.
  
  Fill a wok halfway up with oil. Heat oil on highest heat
  setting. When you think oil is sufficiently heated, test the
  temperature of it with a small piece of bread crust. If it
  fries to a golden brown colour, then oil is ready for deep
  frying. If bread crust fails to brown readily, then oil is
  not ready yet. If bread crust fries to a dark brown, then oil
  is too hot. Shut heat off of wok, allow oil to cool 5
  minutes before turning heat on again. Retest oil with bread
  crust to see if it is of proper temperature.
  
  When oil is ready for deep frying, take 2 teaspoons, dip
  into shrimp mixture and form a 1" diameter ball. Drop ball
  into hot oil, Place about 8 balls into the hot oil. Allow
  each ball to deep fry 3 minutes. Turn balls so that each
  will fry to a golden brown colour. Remove balls to paper
  toweling to drain excess oil from them. Repeat procedure for
  deep frying rest of shrimp mixture until all of the mixture
  is used up. Place shrimp balls on a serving platter. Garnish
  with parsley or other raw vegetable.
