I've heard of someone who's fax caught fire when the lightening got the
line! Working on the principle that if it can happen to anyone it'll
generally be me, I run around the building like something possessed
unplugging anything electrical and all phones etc too!! (Hey anyone who
has to buy 4 wireless access points and then reprogram the last one
cause it came with the wrong firmware has to act with caution!!) We did
loose 2 phone lines in a storm, they came back up but neither could
handle data anymore only voice. Had one hell of a job to convince BT
they had to sort it, as they only guarantee voice online!! Eventually
my argument that I wasn't asking for something new, but just the same
service back that I'd enjoyed for 3 years (OR ELSE!!) won them round.
Grrrrr!
