I have just had occasion to use a vge(4) as an interface to as DSL
modem.
When using the same DSL link with an fxp(4), a dc(4) or an axe(4)
interface, various DSL speed tests on the net show the line at its
correct speed of 1536/384 (up/down).
But on the vge(4) interface downloads are noticably slower, and in
fact, the line tests only as 768/128, i.e., about half speed.
The DSL modem runs at 10baseT half-duplex.
Anyone have thoughts as to why this may be?
