Polyphaser does make excellent surge supression gear they make it for all communications services. i.e. Broadcast Radio, television, cell sites, gov't/military. Being a ham I use their gear myself expensive but cheaper than a new rig. Especially since the rig is connected to a structure designed to attract electromagnetic fields. Scott C.

One successful lightning strike on the other hand will hurt quite a bit, and probably happen at 4AM just to be more annoying.Yes... we had a strike hit a remote mountain POP via the T1. From the router it managed to propogate onto the switch and from the switch onto the connected hosts and caused a catastrophic failure. Fortunately the hosts mainly lost their NICs. We have since purchased some polyphaser surge protectors. Can't remember if this was the vendor or not: http://www.comm-omni.com/polyweb/t1.htm Google has +400 matches on the exact phrase "T1 surge protector"
