Mike, Harvey is right, you need line voltage and telephone protection. We have an office full of computers and protect all of them with APC "surge arrests". See http://www.apcc.com. The part # we buy is "Net7T". It protects 7 plugs and one phone line. They offer a $25,000 guarantee against your downstream equipment being in any way damaged. I can vouch for their guarantee.

We don't get a lot of bad storms but when we get one, they can be fierce.
