Hi Nemer,

OT -- melting modems
Hooked it back up, ----and viola, it WORKS...

Got to love it. Glad your modem is healthy again. There is another way for lightning to get into your computer -- through the phone line. So, if your UPS doesn't have an in an out for the phone line you might want to go down to a staples or office max and buy a power strip with a built in surge protector. It will have an in and out jack for the phone line as well. Cost is ~12$ for a 350J device and 25$ for a 1500J device. The 350J (joule) is probably fine. You could then plug your UPS into the power strip for an extra layer of protection through the power lines.
