Does ANY company make a surge protection power strip (or similar product) that has telephone protection capabilities for TWO lines (ie. has four wires in the RJ-11 sockets and surge-protection circuitry for both Line 1 and Line 2). I have just upped the home office to two-line telephones and now all of my expensive APC surge protection strips are unusable. I've done a fair amount of looking around and have found that most brands of surge protectors with telephone line protection have only the two center wires in the RJ-11 sockets. The center wires are Line 1. This means that not only is there no protection for LIne 2, Line 2 is completely disabled. I have looked at all the major and minor brands I can find such as APC, Tripp, Belkin, etc. and the only one that even HAS the four wires necessary for two-line telephones to work is the Belkin line. Unfortunately, an e-mail exchange with Belkin technical support says that while Line 2 will work with these surge protectors, there is no surge protection circuitry. Any help would be appreciated. -- ladd.morse@his.com
