Wow! Thanks for the quick response... I have a feeling the card is in half duplex since I am getting a steady stream of collisions (.4%) ...

I would have thought the collisions would almost be nonexistant.... ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa (mike@sentex.net) * To do is to be -- Nietzsche Sentex Communications Corp, * To be is to do -- Sartre Cambridge, Ontario * Do be do be do -- Sinatra (http://www.sentex.net/~mdtancsa) *
