Any modems can get fried by a lightning strike.
Before CLECs brought in cheap CT1s, I used all MP/8s and MP/16s.
They worked great. One of them did get eight of it's modems fried in a
storm, but that's not USR's fault.
Only had one problem. A specific client had a pool of modems they used to
dial us. One of those modems would cause our modem to lock up if we
diconnected them for being idle. No problems if they disconnected
normally. This would cause about one modem a month to lock up.
