My problem was of the "modules aren't receiving signals anymore" variety
which would indicate that something (in this case the UPS) was putting out
noise on the power lines, not what you experienced.  You might have a module
that's getting flaky or something else is generating signals.  The filter
I used had been siting in my closet for a few years, but I probably bought
it from smarthome.com and they have a couple of them.
