Marta, If by suppressor, you mean a UPS or uninterrupted power source, I turn mine off so it's battery does not get run down while the power is off.
As far as the phone cord to my cordless phone, I unplug it because it is plugged into my Airport. And while the Airport isn't connected to the computer, it's transformer is plugged into one of my surge bars which has other computer stuff plugged into it. Sometimes I forget to unplug the phone and I assume, if lightening hits I would just lose the phone and the Airport. Assuming it doesn't burn down the whole house. And of course, how many times do we have terrible electrical storms when I am not at home?
