Thank you.
I figured someone would want to be hostile. I think the hub I was using calls itself an "auto-switching" hub, but I've been told that's "something different entirely". I just know that it works this way.
Do yourself a favour and play with bing. The man page says not to use your own IP in the measurements, but most of the time, the numbers I get out of it are realistic. I have measured between 20 and 60 Mb over 100 Mb networks, depending on the NICs used. Intel EEPros are super-fast... I measured 10 Mb on 3Com's 10Mb VDSL, 900 Kb on some HPNA gear over here, etc. It works well. I can't wait to get some Gb ethernet to play with... As far as the 100Mb being desirable, the card that connects to my cable modem is a 10Mb, but the rest of my network is 100Mb. I do a lot of XSessions, network backups, etc. on my internal side. The 100Mb is definitely worth it. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7j5hb+FOexA3koIgRAslZAKCe+CfBIsfqI3nsWbnazGlHSdieJACfcT73 tk3dePB+ic0V4hMCUCSe6Co= =JY/h -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
