Jim,
 
        Yes, and NO !!!  First, have the Tech check to see if the Telco Demark is on Gas Permeable (SP ?) RJ blocks.  These will blow like a circuit breaker in power spikes.  Second, check the Circuit Panel, there some recent to  market devices that will QUOTE protect everything in the panel from surges and spikes. 
 
           But, as I found out recently when lighting hit the tree 10Ft in front of my home.  G-D will get what G-D wants to get with lighting, no matter how well you try and protect....
 
        Good Luck,
        JMS...

Subject: Lightning protection

After a severe lightning storm Thu nite, a customer's shop is still down. The AS/400 runs fine. The 400 & most network equip on large UPS all survived. (Their network tech put some RAS servers outside computer room & they died-idiot). All the hubs in office damaged.  My question is the CISCO router. Was on UPS & powers up ok, but the tech described the CSU/DSU port as "fried". Is there such a thing as T1 cable surge suppression? I asked router tech & he has no clue. I asked telco tech & he had no clue.
