I would let it be half duplex/normal 10 mbit. 784kbit isn't going to hurt a 10 mbit. The added benefit here is that you know it will work since its normal ethernet and you will be able to place up to 5 of these per Freebsd ethernet interface. Just to be on the safe side, is the duplex on the Krell the problem? If so, are you sure that is for the ethernet interface? I've found that certain vendors detection of full duplex is really poor. (Cisco CAT5000 and Sun HME cards, they wouldn't even detect link proper) Man, I wish you were in my area, I would really like some DSL speed! Dru Nelson Redwood City, California
