Lines: 11 If your modem gets zaped by glitches, check that protector block where the telephone line comes in is properly grounded and that the carbon blocks are in good shape. Inspect the blocks by removing the two bolts on the protector that appear to do nothing. After having lost two modems to lightning this way, I found that the Telco did not ground the protector when my phone line was installed. Ameritech did reimburse me (after a bit of a delay) for the modem repair charges. Gene Fowler ihnp4!invest!gef
