(PM) Semi-Off Topic: UPS Considerations

I'm trying to put together a UPS solution for my PM2e30's and Modems. I
admit, I'm not good at power calculations, so the best I could do was the
Size-UPS on the APC web site.

I'm looking to provide a UPS for a rack consisting of the following, and I
was wondering if anyone would share their opinions on the feasability of
an APC Smart-UPS 1400:

4 PM2e30's (all async - I estimated 30 watts a piece (range was 20-40)
1 IRX-114 (4 sync - I estimated 40 watts)
2 USR MP/16's (at 94 watts a piece)
1 USR MP/8 (at 47 watts)
1 ISPorte 64 (64 modems -- I calculated 2A which came out to 168 watts)

I'm not looking for hours of protection, mainly just protection from the
little dips and 1-2 minute power outtages. I've got a Smart-UPS 700 on
there now, but it's overloaded :-)
