Will it blow your modem, even if the phone line is NOT connected to it?


It can.


Will it make your answering machine act like it is on drugs?


It's possible.

Will it short out a caller ID box?


Maybe.

Will it cause an OPEN in in 1 line of a 4 conductor phone wire?


Again, possible.
Will it losen the ground clamp from the phone wire gnd to the electrical
wire GND ?

If the ground line clamp got hot enough, and it was a direct strike,
you bet your ass.

Any thoughts from those who know?
