Thanks Miles, it looks like a great unit. I did a lot of homework and have
not found anyone unhappy with their Guardian.

You'll love the guardian.
We had a guardian installed when we bought this house back in april of
last year. We wired the usual devices, Fridge, Freezer and some lights. We
then wired my office as well. It served its purpose on more than one
occasion keeping me on the net so I could work.
We're far enough from town that I can't get DSL, or even cable so I
have a wireless connection to an access point on cell tower some 6 miles
away for my Internet connection. Luckily the tower is in a different power
grid. I even have a great big ugly antenna on my roof that drives the
homeowners assn 'enforcement officer' as he likes to call himeself.
(short for idiot with nothing better to do and needs to get a life..)
nuts.
Enjoy it.
