I'm trying to get rid of my landline and use DSL for my home alarm system monitoring and alerting.I have a DSL and I want to get rid of my landline (naked DSL is offered by Bellsouth/ATT), but my home alarm system uses the landline to be monitored and to call the central office when tripped. My DSL enters on one end of the house and immediately goes into the modem and then goes into the electrical system via a unit. In my study I have another unit which plugs into the electrical outlet and then I plug my wireless router into it. In my bedroom closet I have the alarm system which plugs into the landline.If I get rid of my landline, I can get skype and a $30 unit which allows me to plug in and use my set of cordless phones, but how do I get my alarm system integrated into this configuration.Thank youAny suggestions would be appreciated.
Yes, in fact it's more likely to strike repeatedly in the same place than any other place, because that place is likely more conducive to having lightning strike it. For example, tall buildings with radio antennas or masts on them are very susceptible to repeated lightning strikes, because they are up high in the air and are good conductors of electricity. That's the idea behind a lightning rod on a house. It's a metal rod that's up higher than the house itself and it has a thick cable running to the ground. So, instead of lightning striking the house itself and causing damage, it strikes the lightning rod and gets shunted into the ground.
A Class B type fire extinguisher should do the job unless you believe that you're at risk for an electrical fire-highly unlikely for such a small boat. Your biggest fire risk is the alcohol stove and the engine, for which a Class B is perfect. The numerical rating should provide you with the number of square feet you should expect to cover and extinguish with that particular fire extinguisher.
