Craig, Radio Shack had small chokes but they want $10 a piece for them and the salesman said he doubted they would work. I guess I could mail order for toroids. Any suggestions on size? I can run over to Home Depot and probably find metal screening. That is a great idea. Ground the screening to the coax connector on the modem, or run a separate ground from under the house? Thank.
