Can someone clarify this please - do you need an expensive switching hub to run some cards at 10mb and others at 100mb or can you do that with a hub like that? I was under the impression that if one card is 10mb then the hub won't run at 100mb (although I could well have been misinformed). Do these new hubs come with BNC connectors too? -- Jamie Walker http://www.howgarth.demon.co.uk/ "You're one of those condescending Unix computer users!" "Here's a nickel, kid.
