If you check <http://www.backplane.com/diablo/hard.html> and
scroll down to the "Network:" section (from the looks of things,
written sometime back in 1997 or perhaps 1998), you'll see that Matt
has been well aware of this problem for some time.
That's not to say that he might have forgotten his own advice on
this issue, just that he is (or should be ;-) well aware of it.
That said, I have to admit that I have yet to be bitten by this
problem, and I have not (yet) configured machines & switches at this
site to forcibly select a particular media speed and plexicity.
