Maybe. But thats unfortunate. It is such a simple thing.

I am not a elctrical/eles engineer, but from the diagram presented in that site. It looks pretty straightforward.

.

On Ebay (India), Modem protectors are available for 800. Maybe if you contact sellers, they can arrange LAN protectors as well.

APC PROTECTNET 100BT/10BT/TR

Prolly available for less than Rs.400

Tho some APC UPS have it built in also



Going by what i read on the net, these products are not so good, as over time it will take smaller surges and degrade leaving you without any protection after some point. How to tell if surge protector is still working ?

If you want to totally protect your Lan card, go wi-fi

..choose what you are willing to sacrifice, wi-fi router or motherboard (worst case)
