I also remember lots of framing errors coming off of 3C595s as well. Of course I also remember a time (back in the thin-net days) when the 3C509b was the Cadalac, no that's wrong, they were more like the Rolls Royce of ethernet cards. We could get a good 30% more run length if we used only those cards. Just one from another vendor could take an entire segment down... Now I see a 3Com card and cringe. Give me a Intel 10/100 any day. Eric Diamond eDiamond Networking & Security 303-246-9555 eric@xxxxxxxxxxxx
