P.S. Two years ago I crawled around in the attic and ran Cat5 to all the
rooms. I had eight computers including my server networked to a hub and
Webshuttle as my dialup. One lightning strike at my neighbors house took
out the hub, ALL the network cards, and two motherboards. I had more than
adequate lightning protection on everything but somehow it made it to the
network. Maybe EMP.

I ripped out all Cat5 and went 802.11b wireless networking and have never
had a problem since. I took a direct hit this summer and lost over $5000
worth of power inverters and the satellite dish, but the network survived
on wireless. I now have upgraded to 802.11a and have 100mhz networking
everywhere including carrying my notebook computer down to my pond during
the summer where I can sit on the bank, watch my ebay sales and pull in 8
lb bass all evening. http://www.vvalley.com/valleymemories/morepix.htm
