I use a powerbar with surge protection and it has saved my computer =20
twice and both times it was through the phone line. The first time =20
after a thunder storm all our phones wouldn't work resulting from the =20=
blown surge protection for the phone line. I thought it was a phone =20
problem and called the phone company and they traced it to the surge =20
protector, the next time I figured it out myself. The phone =20
technician said that most folks don't think of running the phone line =20=
through the surge protector so most times he sees fried modems and =20
motherboards.
