Both of the DSL modems I've had, as well as both cable modems I've owned,
and every DSL modem I've installed for other people have all had 100meg
ports...either in a 4-5 port switch, or in the port that connected right
to the PC/router/firewall.
Interesting.
As I noted, a few seconds ago, I'm surprised that the manufacturers are
even bothering...I can't imagine that 10meg chipsets are that plentiful,
anymore.
