There wasn't a phone line there to interfere, Errr, isn't cat-3 what 10Base-T is supposed to run on? Sure the cards weren't trying to do 100mbit over it?

I thought CAT-3 was in spec for 10mbit? You probably have to force all your cards to 10 as the auto-negotiation probably sucks, if it does it at all... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
