Is it okay to plug a power-strip into a UPS?

[Neil Joseph Schelly]

It's considered bad practice to do that because surge protectors are bad at 
evenly distributing power to devices when you mix devices with larger power 
draws and smaller ones.  Realistically, a modem and router aren't going to 
cause any problems like that, so you should be fine.
