break

I'm buying this unit from deal extreme: it's a bitorrent downloader, with NAS capability.

I'm interested in sharing an external HD in it, with media and backup purposes.

I'm afraid of energy problems (don't know if this is the correct term), corrupting my mounted drives (like after a storm), so I thought about buying an UPS that sends a "signal" to my Linux box, and a script in my Linux box would unmout everything to avoid problems.

Do this "UPS signal" feature exists? Do you have model suggestions? Thanks!
