hmmm...
does the UPS reports stats? or is it completely dumb? eg, APC SmartUPS
will tell you percentage load, time battery'd last for on current
load, etc..
otherwise you're going to have it do it manually, ie find the
average/peak current draw or power consumption of each device and add
them up, see how it compares to the UPSs rated peak draw and VA*hours.

find a 4-way strip with a kettle lead plug? (i think you're going to
have to splice..)
also get worldcom to have Eircom bring a proper NTU with a kettle lead
around.
