- Buy a good phone line surge protector to protect your
- modem. Some computer surge protectors provide a special
- modular jack to protect your phone line as well as your
- electrical line.

- If you live in an area that has frequent lightning
- storms, it is best to unplug all your equipment when you
- are not using it. For example, I live in Florida. The
- summers in Florida have lightning storms often in the
- afternoons. In the summer, when I am not using the
- computer, I unplug everything. Even with good power surge
- protection, it is wise to unplug all your computer
- equipment in a lightning storm. Be sure to unplug both
- the electrical cord and the phone wire where it plugs
- into the wall.
