If you want any decent runtime for a PC/monitor/xDSL etc you are going to
have some hefty battery storage. Best to forget a PC other than a laptop
when the power goes. Have one to enable clean automagic shut downs though.

Useful to put DECT basestation on UPS too, but also keep a wired phone
handy.

Some DECTs have batteries, personally I'd have a wired phone always
plugged in somewhere anyway.
