I'm doing some protocol development and it is convenient to start it on Ethernet. I will need to send a packet to the Ethernet device and only have it be sent once, even if there is a colision. (Higher levels in the protocol will detect the failure.) I've searched quite a bit, and haven't found any place that talks about this. Are there any hardware cards, or drivers, that let me turn off the backoff/retry behavior? -- Len
