The only true surge suppressor that I have found, that I will trust my harware
to, is Zero Surge.  You can reach them at (708) 766-4220.  Ask them for info
and they will send you a detailed explaination of how various suppressors
work (and don't work ;-) and they give refs. to (UL/EIA/IEEE ?) specs for
surge suppression.
 
Nice folks to talk to, too!
