An unexpected thunderstorm today morning zapped Aasim’s PC, 3 ports on my main switch and a network card.

It also fried the router / repeater at my cable guy, several modems at VSNL are also dead – I am stuck with a really lousy dial up again

What does one do for surge protection via network cables?

    Get something like this DELL apparently throws such things in for “free” in the US.

    Some UPSs from APC feature the surge-protection for phones… haven’t seen anything in india for RJ-45 jacks though.
