Uh? Wh
I have purchased several "hub kits" at 100Mb that sold for the same
price as 10Mb kits (same number of ports/same brand). I suspect that
from a manufacturing standpoint that the 10Meg stuff is "obsolete".
OTOH I still agree with you in that there is no point in paying a
premium for a 100Meg hub

Why 100Mb? 10 is fast enough for most uses and is actually faster than
most machines can push bits out the interface.

If you're using cat5. If you're just using coax cable, you don't need a
hub or switch and can just hang everything off the one wire.

Well. It seems that the problem with my network is hardware rather than
software related. I initialised the cards from DOS, and there were some
diagnostic utils too. According to the diagnostics, the 'Media
Connector' or somesuch is a dud. The cables, t pieces and terminators
are fine, so suffice t

??? you need to give the io for modprobe
I have 2 cards of that type, but what I did was boot dos from floppy and
then run the card setup utility to turn off pnp and set the ioport and irq
values. Then I ran modconf to install the ne module. They work fine that
way. I only use isapnp on devices that don't allow you to explicity set
