I'll respond with actual numbers after testing, between autoneg and forced 100/full servers. I admit, the forced 100/full is because of ancient lore, particularly with cisco switches not always playing nice with autonegotiation, we've just always done it that way (until gbit), and never had any problems. The servers in question all do 150-200Mbit in production, no problem, it's just that any one flow can't do more than ~300KB/s cross country. Given that they're over 100Mbit, what ethernet card is recommended if em has problems? FWIW, I am able to receive full speed on all of these servers. freebsd.org sends at 10Mbit, kernel.org at 20+. It's only sending speed that I have a problem with, and only with freebsd. Thanks, Moses
