I've got an inexpensive 56k PC card from Ositech (Trump Card) that is 
smart enough to know the difference, and will work with PBX systems. 
I think it would be better to spend the $$$ on a card that won't be 
fried than to spend the $$$ protecting a "lesser" card. That way you 
only have the one card and dongle/cord to carry instead of the card 
and the tester.
