There is a real debate raging around my office; we have an Ethernet cable
that supports 25 Interlan Ethernet Terminal Servers, and about a dozen
direct machine connections onto Ethernet.  The question is whether or not
we should ground the cable.  I have heard 'yes' 'no', and even a 'maybe'!
I am not an EE, so I do not know about these things.  

Do people ground their Ethernets????  

Send me E-mail, and (as usual) if there is more than a couple of responses,
I will summarize to the net.
