Thanks Ev. I know Melco means quality. I didn't know they were opto-isolated. I'm going to cancel the order and take you up on your gracious offer. I'll send you an offline e-mail.
I can't believe the hospitality exhibited here by this forum. Thank you all.
And yes, I'm looking into the Porta Systems line protector. Sounds like an exact match for my requirement.
