Yuk. What kind of switch is that ? i.e. where you are not allowed to configure it to various connection modes ? So far, I have had great luck with Catalyst and HP switches with the fxps. They are of course fully configurable and managed and work well in Half and Full Duplex modes at 10 and 100. ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa, Network Admin * mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications Corp, * http://www.sentex.net/mike Cambridge, Ontario * 01.519.651.3400 Canada * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
