Thanks for this write-up. The surge path on a POTS line is often underestimated, and a proper clamping stage plus a series resistor is what actually saves the modem front end. I keep a short checklist for this kind of fault tracing on trackdash.org and it has saved me more than once when a storm rolled through.

Solid write up on protecting phone lines from over voltage. The part about clamping the line before it reaches the equipment was genuinely useful, and the explanations are clear enough for someone doing small home electronics projects. Lately I have been taking short breaks with a daily crowd guessing game called noillirk, so reading practical teardown notes like this is a nice change of pace. Thanks for sharing the details.

Great write-up on protecting phone lines from over-voltage events. The details on MOVs and gas discharge tubes were especially useful for anyone tinkering with telecom gear at home. I have been messing around with small electronics projects myself lately, mostly to unwind between rounds of noomiclone game, so this kind of practical protection advice is always welcome. Thanks for sharing the breakdown.

This is basen on a design I did originally around 1995.
