Is it acceptable practice with an ADSL modem to do the following, in
order to protect against lightening strikes etc?

1) after switching off, or going into hibernation - unplug the modem
USB connector from the pooter.

2) on switching on, or coming out of hibernation- before doing
anything, plug in the modem and then switch on.

Would doing either of these procedures compromise anything?

Any advice / help most welcome.
