And is this with or without a surge protector? I can relate to this as my previous 56k modem got killed the same way - when I absent-mindedly shut off my surge protector at that time. :-( (I cannot definitely prove that the storm was the reason the modem died, but I can't think of any other cause because the modem worked perfectly prior to the storm.) Since that awful experience, I bought a new SP that has telephone line protection included and have kept the SP switched on at all times. ___Billy Wong___ BHS1989@xxxxxxxx http://www.geocities.com/billythekid1602445 To unsubscribe, send a message to listar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe juno_accmail" in the body or subject.
