The other night I was on my computer and a storm came in and knocked out the power. When I got up the next morning and tried to get online an error message popped up saying "Could not detect dial tone". I checked the phoneline and there was most definatly a dial tone. I tried a different phonecable,nothing, I tried reloading my ISP's software, still nothing.

So what do you think the problem could be? I'm figuring lightning must have blown out my computer's modem. So where could i go to get a new one, how much would one cost and how would I install the thing?

This is interesting you say that.  Please point me to more info on this.

I have two USB drives hooked up to my Debian box, and when I was doing large amounts of file transfer between the two drives, at some point it was like both drives got disconnected even though they were still physically connected, and it's like it knocked out the whole usb card.

More info please.
