Re: Lightning protection

Hello Jim,

We had a lightning at our customers on July 3, everything behind the
 UPS was ok, but the analog modems and the ISDN Equipment died.

For protection equipment take a look at APCs website:

we use the PDigitel and it works fine.

Greetings from germany, Philipp Rusch
