Ethernet collisions

Here are some ethernet stats from a few of our Portmasters. Does this look
like a high percentage of collisions? The person at Livingston that we
talked to last week seemed to think it was, but each of our Portmasters is
on a different port of our ethernet switch, so each one should be getting
its own 10Mbps bandwidth. It seems like the collision count should be
smaller here. Can anyone Wise In The Ways of Ethernet comment?
