Yes, true. Targus make a small in-line protector that prevents a connection with a digital line - which could be disastrous apparently and fry your modem or worse. Buy them at airports. Costs around �25. I'm told that ideally you need a "digital to analogue converter" but I've scoured everywhere for one of these and no one knows what on earth I'm talking about. Anyone know a source, or a manufacturer's name or anything?
