as far as i know, the problem with phone lines is not the lightning itself, because it is not very likely to hit your building. the problem is with voltage changes which are caused due to lightning storms. hence, a lightning-catcher (?) (KALI BARAK) will not help in that matter. the electricity lines do have a strong effect on comunication lines, AFAIK. and in contrary to all those who told about their cables and how their computer is still fine, my modem was ruined in a lightning storm...
