LAN

	Electrically conductive Ethernets should be grounded in one and
ONLY one location.  3Com or Xerox could provide you with a copy of the
"Blue Book" Ethernet 2.0 Specification.  In cases of properly installed
ethernet equipment being "blown-out" by electrical storms, replace key
links in the network with the Ungermann/Bass-Seicor-FiberLan fiber-optic
Ethernet to achieve electrical isolation of now two different electrical
Ethernets, each of which may/must be grounded at exactly one point (end).
