No Michael, that is not exactly correct. All parts of a computer are
vulnerable to an EMP if it is very strong. Having a cable plugged into
it (which acts as an antenna) makes it much more vulnerable. Having a
phone line plugged in can be even more vulnerable if the the cable does
not have have twisted pairs but instead has straight wire.
When it comes to radio frequencies, resonance is the key. To shed some
light on this for yourself, try studying for a Ham Radio license. You
can start with hamwhisperer.com. That one is free.
