IS there any preference between the PRO 100+ and the PRO 10/100B? Is one better than the other? Can they both do autonegotiation, and full-duplex (as in does the driver work equally well with both cards)? I would appreciate a fast response, since we would like to get the server stable as soon as possible. Viren -- Viren R.
