You may be way ahead of me on this but people are having good success with this product with DSL:

I have one of these installed on my main cable feed since I'm on a cable modem:

and one of these after that connected to the cable again and between my modem and network gear:

I went surge protector crazy a couple of years ago... No complaints!
