I don't trust the cheap surge protectors I have. They are not networked together. Maybe some day a laplink cable but that's about it. Usually they aren't on at the same time. I am getting a new dream machine soon, and need to know it won't fry if there is a lightning storm.
Phone line comes from the wall to the modem then out to the phone.
Thanks for your time and advice. So far so good. But, many of the outlets in my house aren't the 3 prong type. A computer, yes. Any 3-pronged plug device, yes.
