ummm ....dont we need a capacitance rather than inductance to ground the
surge. I guess that depends whether its the voltage or the current which
kills a modem. A high enough inductance should cause the voltage to drop
before the modem. Whereas the capacitor should take out the surge
component of the current. Have to redo the physics book ;(
