Interesting.  Thanks, Steve.  When I called Allegheny Power about the 
status of my whole-house surge suppressor following my lightning hit, I was 
told that if it had failed I should be able to hear it beeping; if it is 
silent, so they said, we are still protected.  Frankly, I would rather it 
worked the other way, so I wouldn't wonder whether the "beep" circuit was 
also fried.
