The most common home wiring problem is where someone has a ground wire
that is carrying current - You really need that 4th wire - makes a big
difference in lightning strikes.

It deals with transducers, but applies equally well with MODEMS and
computer equipment.
The most important point is that unless all your ground connections come
into the building at the same place and are bonded to a 'ground
pavilion', you will have differential transients that destroy equipment.
