And in my experience (many years back), a nokia handset would start draining its ups as soon as it got a full charge, requiring daily reseat of the supply cord. YMMV so test and retest.

No, not really. I was thinking that a "modem" would be a little more robust and easier to deal with in the rack than a handset would be. If I'm given a choice, I think I'd stay away from a handset, but I may not have a choice. :)
Think about it: mobile handsets have built-in UPSes :)
If that s/b the case try using a Power Timer ie: something like , http://www.simplyhydroponics.com/24hr_digital_timer.htm , And program it to turn off once a week for 2-3 minutes .
