Ok. I don't know what cute little Netscape boxes you're referring to, but thanks for the pointer. I don't suppose you were trying to be sarcastic...? >2) the real world uses switches and runs full duplex, so collisions > aren't really a concern. I see. I run full duplex, on a (one :-) switch. I wasn't aware that collisions weren't a concern. >if you're going to dispute statistics, at least understand the metrics. I didn't realize I was disputing, I thought I was asking a question (thinking out loud, whatever). Had a bit too much coffee today? I guess this is the wrong place to learn more about networking & FBSD? >- bill fumerola / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Thor _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
