We're well over the 2k-user mark, and are using 802.3 frames. Yes, if I
could make the magic change, and didn't have to buy tons of new print
server, boot ROMs, etc. to do it, I'd switch to 802.2 or Ethernet_II, but
there's so little technical gain that it's not worth the huge ammount of
work it would take to accomplish.
