Surfing the web on battery backup

[TallBill]

Do I have 5 minutes of surfing or 5 hours? What to do? I'm sweating and getting the shakes.

1400VA rated UPS. 18" LCD & 17" CRT although I can shutdown the CRT easily enough I don't have the router & switch hooked into a UPS as of yet. So if the power goes out no more websurfing for me although I can do a safe shutdown.

At my parents house, i've got around 30 minutes before the network dies, 45 minutes before all the computer die, and around 15 minutes before the home theater dies!

Well our main router is in another building that has power, so my internet will stay up as best as it can.
