  Something struck me when I was wiring the console ports of a set of
machines to a terminal server:  why was I connecting the terminal server 
via optoisolators?  
  Rooms full of terminals are exactley as likely to cause ground-loops as
rooms full of cpu's...  would not terminal servers have ground-loop
protection already?

  Can someone confirm or deny this, so I can avoid spending money and
laying glass-fibre all over my machine room.
