Im curious that you ever got the email I sent first night I found this university science forum thing. You were asking about co-occurances. Sally

Just a quick message, saying that I am working on the problem, however, now the phone line is cut and my workload has jumped!!!

Speak to you all soon,

damienpaul-I wish I could help your town with some technology. With my houses, you won't need no stinking grid. Or, at least you could tolerate it better.

Some folks are using inverters and batteries (without Photovoltaics) as a fairly innexpensive backup system for their basic electronics. Also, there are some newer surge protectors that have a built-in surge protector for the phone line, that will protect the modem. And, there are little back-up power supplies that can keep your computer running so you can shut it off gracefully, and they also have surge protection for the power and phone line.

What powers your grid by the way? Oil, Propane, Coal, Squirrels in cages? :P
