Bill Paull reports that the RealTek chip supports full duplex as well. <winter> how about the winbond and liteon? <Bill_work> They will when I'm done with them. So, to completly qualify your answer, a number of high-performance cards and a number of really trashy evil ugly cards. I wouldn't be surprised if you could get any of the RealTek, Winbond, or Liteon cards for $10 or $15. Regarding Mike's bit about 100meg hubs vs. 10meg switches the only reason I can see for a switch over a hub is if you need SNMP (usually standard on switches) and you don't want to allow systems on the same network to snoop eachother. -- | Matthew N.
