Thunder Storms

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with one of our remote location and recent
electrical storm activity in this area. Well, at least the problem
occurs or is more amplified when there is a thunder storm. We
have a PM2ER-30 and into that is plugged a Motorola FT100S and into
that is plugged the Telco's Pargain Technologes HRE422 HDSL. Our
equipment is plugged into a SmartUPS. Now everytime a storm goes
over head I loose my W1 connection. The Portmaster shows a
" CONNECTING " on W1. The only remedy is to actually unplug the
Motorola from the UPS socket powering it down and then plug
it back in again powering it back up again. The PM2ER immediately
establishes the connection.
Has anyone heard of such a thing ? Or any ideas, like could it be
a poor Telco ground ? It's been very frustrating.

Thanks.
