I only wanted to know if I should keep my Zone Alarm operating when I have
XP Pro, and a DSL firewall in the modem--it was turned on by going to my IE
browser and entering my IP address, and clicking "ON." That's all I needed.

the only time I've had a fried situation was after leaving home for a week,
and returning I had no Internet. It was really the phone cord (I'd forgotten
to unplug it from the wall outlet), and it was a 50' cord that had to go
from my office, over the doorways, into another room, and it was fried. My
modem did have to be replaced, but nothing else was affected, except my
pride.
thank you.

interesting to see that you've changed your message to state "sub-$100"
instead of just UPS, as it appears you learned from your mistake in the
past.

I have not changed anything. We were always discussing what DanS has
now described as a sub-$100 UPS - also known as a computer grade UPS or
what most everyone has when they use UPSes. This was always defined as
different from other UPSes such as the building wide UPS that may do
power conditioning AND that has that dedicated earthing wire. But
computer users typically use the sub-$100 UPS - which is what was
discussed previously, These UPSes connect AC mains directly to
appliance. So where is this power conditioning? It exists in urban
myths.

And my SU2200 and SU3000 and even the APC Su700 and Backup ES700 units
have protected MANY devices from protective surges that damaged devices
connected to the same AC circuit.

We (myself and others) listed the above devices and you refused to reply
back about them, but, the fact is that no matter what you say, what you
type, those devices, in my experience, have clearly shown to protect
devices against surges while other unprotected equipment of the same
protected type has been damaged.
