Guess I will be sneaking onto the net from work for a while. We had a hail storm come up real quick last night, I don't remember seeing any lighting, but something came through the phone line and fried my modem. Darn - I had a $30 interactive scheduled for Thursday at 6 pm! So, I guess if you use a dial up, pull the phone jack that is connected to your modem out if a storm comes1

DSL or internal modem? My surge strip also has a place to plug in your phone line. {{{{{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}} hope you get a new modem soon

internal - and I had a surge protector on the power line, just not the phone line.

How much is it going to cost to replace? (not a whole lot I hope) Glad it was just the modem and not the whole PC.
