A few weeks ago during a particularly violent thundertorm, my microfilter
went pop and all the phones as a result were dead. Replacing the microfilter
did solve the problem and it appears both my PCs (the one connected directly
to the ADSL via a PCI modem and the one connected via Ethernet to that PC)
survived unscathed. As always tho, it's wise to disconnect your
ADSL/telephone modem from the phone line as soon as you see the 1st signs of
a storm.

Something I have only just thought about. Does anyone know if there is a
risk (as with regular modems) of damage during a thunderstorm to ADSL
equipment. I assume that there is but does anyone know differently (like
the microfilter will block this).
