A change was made recently to respect the SRM setting instead of using autoneg. The variable is typically called ewa0_mode. To find the right setting, type >>>set ewa0_mode from the SRM prompt and it will give you a list of settings. Choose one, then type e.g.: >>>set ewa0_mode Twisted-Pair -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
