[TenTec] My first TenTec Rig.. RIP

W3DMT:

 >It was not connected to an antenna at the time,
but it WAS connected to a computer, that was
attached to a network segment that came directly
off of my DSL router.

         Yes, Phone line > DSL Modem > Router > Computer
 > Jupiter.  To be absolutely safe, disconnect:

1.  All antennas (I do that outside).
2.  All power connections (UNPLUG power strips,
not simply turn it off.
3.  All phone lines (unplug from modem).

Even with surge suppressors on the power and phone
lines, a lightning strike will laugh on the way to
your equipment.  I'll bet you are going to find
more damage as you follow the above chain.
