- Last year we moved into our first house (a new house). Since then
- our modem has been fried three times by lightning. Yes, after the
- first time I got a modem surge protector. It didn't make it through
- the first storm. After umpteen years in various apartments with
- various modems and never having a problem like this I can't help think
- that something's wrong. I've had the phone company out to check the
- lines but they say everything is OK. Please note that these are not
- even close hits, but distant strikes.
-
- Any help and/or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

- Thanks in Advance,
- Jeff
