UPSs are better than surge protectors, usually, but they are NOT

Yea, but so what? That's what they're for. And the battery lasts
for years anyway...

I live in a rual area and frequently take precautions to prevent
lightning damage.
Disconnecting the phone cable (since I'm on dial up) is the most
important and other than turning off my power supply surge protector (ha

Use a power strip / surge protector that has phone line protection.
