You now have it at ca. 100 and some of us have a screen that is 80 char width. And that doesn't result in something thats that readable On Fri, Feb 20, 2004 at 01:50:44PM -0600, Darryl Hoar wrote: > Greetings, > I have a box with 5.1-release on it.

The hub wil use the slowest speed and mode. Or you could replace it with a switch. There are cheap version with 8 entries. If you can borrow one, then that would make diagnostic some what easier. > That didn't help. Double checked the hub and the port was enabled. > Replaced the drop > cable. Nope. Not gonna go.
