DEC sells a lightning protector that you can plug your terminal or PC into.
Look in the DECdirect catalog - the price is $134.  They also sell voltage
conditioners (starting at $500) that take garbage and convert it into the
right frequency and voltage.  I own one of the lightning protectors.  My
terminal used to flash occasionally (overvoltage?) but now it doesn't.
My dad (who is an electrical engineer) owns one of the voltage conditioners
and thinks that the price is awfully low for how good it is (mostly his job
involves designing power stations).
