I have one similar to the Tripp-Lite, from another manufacturer.
I do have one question, tho -- While this is no longer really relevant unless yer in an office that uses FAX machines/FAX-capable printers (which is more common than one might think), or have a Satellite TV/internet that requires a landline connection (pure dialup is comparatively rare in the US these days, but not unheard of; most Satellite services use the landline for "checking in with HQ" and for internet uploads), is it a good idea to run the phone-line cable through a surge protector? I have had techs in the past tell me that it just adds unnecessary interference to the line, ultimately making it LESS reliable as a result. Is this the case?
