So, suffered through 56k dial up for the last few days, made LoT almost unloadable! New modem today, back and speedy, huge relief!

Thunderstorms have not stopped, yet. May I say, I will not miss this crappy weather?

Blast off for California, July 7th
Don't forget that a surge can flow down a telephone line just as easily as a power line. You should have a surge protector for the DSL/phone line also. Oh, and a few of these might help also.
