wonder which would be safer. Cable TV has tens of (almost) parallel connections with cable length of 25 to fifty meters. Each TV would have a surge arrestor - the small neon lamp in the antenna lead. Otoh the triband modem will have a proper gas discharge lightining suppressor - but only one per circuit with much longer cable. Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
