I am the owner of a newly broken IBM XT clone.  Thanks to mother nature.  It
seems that while I was away one weekend, there was a thunderstorm.  Though
my pc has a power surge spike protector, it does not have anything for the
modem.  Lightning took out both my computer which was connected to the phone
lines and my television which was connected to the local cable system.  Total
damage was estimated at close to $1000.  I am still awaiting word from the
insurance company.  Let this be a lesson to all those, who like me, have no
protection for the modem.

For those of you who have protection, could you recommend some for me?
I have/had a 2400 baud internal modem.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
