It doesn't make sense for them to be built anyother way. The newer chipsets are more expensive and would add to the cirduit board real estate. > What should the DSL side be set to?

Even if you were next door to the CO, and had a friend inside who was willing to set your DSLAM parameters to wide open, you wouldn't see much more than 7.5 Mb/s anyway. > After running the mii-tool -v -F 100baseT-HD eth0 the link died. Yes, see below... > Before running mii-tool I got: > eth0: no autonegotiation, 10baseT-HD, link ok > eth1: no autonegotiation, 10baseT-HD, link ok This says that neither the DSL router nor the hub support auto-negotiation. You won't get your PCs interfaces to do any better without replacing the equipment it's connected to. And as I stated above, replacing the DSL router won't do you any good in that regard anyway.
