The HUD might be able to explain this one, but something tells me it could
be down to the way your DOS cards talk to the main
hub and go through their handshaking procedures. It asks for 100base-TX
full-duplex and at the bottom-end is 10baseT half-
duplex (which it will eventually revert to).
Maybe an NWay thing ?
...waits for the HUD to tell me I'm way off 10 (or 100) base ;)
