    RJ45 Surge Protector needed with Powerline Networking?

    That's a good question, I would plug it through some sort of Surge, if you are fortunate you can find a 6 port Surge Protect with Ethernet (RJ45) built in at your local Super Store or Radio Shack - you can find specialty ones online but a standard Surge would be fairly cost effective.

    The central premise of the book is that the Priory of Sion has been secretly holding onto evidence of such a fact. So the true fact that not only is the orgainization fraudulent but it was a purported hoax by a known conman to support a bogus claim to the French throne says a lot about Dan...
