Several years ago, my built-in dial-up modem was evidently damaged by
static electricity from a nearby lighting discharge. Anyhow - it no longer
worked and I had to get an external modem. Since then I always unplugged
the phone line from the modem during stormy times or when the computer is
not in use. Normally I don't use the computer if thunder is in the area.

Now I have DSL. Should I unplug the phone line from the CenturyLink
(Actiontec) C1000A modem as I did with the other or is it protected? Anyone
know? Or found out the hard way?

TIA
