It is assumed that the machine (6300) is capable of operating in 
such conditions, isn't AT&T the one that had these slick commercials 
with the sweating yuppies discussing the merits of their AT&T equipment
operating in less than ideal conditions? 

The machine *is* on a surge suppressor (the $20 dollar variety). Power
seems to be pretty good in the area, it is all new equipment and 
new house.

I sure hope so too! I'll try to connect some commercial power meter to the
power outlet and see what's going on. Thank you for the tip!
