I've been trying to get 10MB full-duplex to work on my 3com 3c905
ethernet card, but have been getting sluggish response and lots of
errors at the switch.  At half-duplex I have no problems.  It's
irritating because it seems to work fine under NT ;-).  I'm running
2.2.1; I'd like to know if a later release might work better.
Searching the mailing list archives is interesting (but mostly out
of date) and gives me no clear answer.  Does anyone know?

In case it helps, I used the DOS util to set the card to "Max
network perf", "full duplex", and "10 MB".  Also, I don't have the
choice to use any other ethernet card since this is my computer at
work.

Thanks very much,
