Re: Is your DSL connection interrupted by Lightening?

He-he, very funny.

I mean thundering and lightening at a good distance from me...

All my equipments are on pretty good grade UPS'. I build my own pc's -- good psu on UPS is a must-have for me.

It is a Westell 6100... Can I can demand a different modem from ATT? If not, is there any good modem I can buy myself?

The problem is with the Westell they have a very sensitive front end that can pick a signal out of dirt but it doesn't handle the induced noise of a lightning hit very well.

You could swap out the modem for a less sensitive one but that might introduce other new problems if you are running over 3 meg.
