Their first 100Mbit card was 100BaseVG and used an AT&T (or was that TI?) chip. The only 100Mbit hub they sell is also 100BaseVG. If they've figured out the 100BaseTX is the future (like everyone has been saying all along) and are now making products for it, then that would be great news... -DG David Greenman Core Team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
