Mike, I have three final comments then I think enough has been said.
1. Ethernet has always been a half duplex standard until recent times, FDX operation is always quoted therefore to make the distinction from the default. 2. Serial lines, however, since the late seventies-early eighties have been by default a full duplex offering. Therefore FDX is assumed unless otherwise stated. 3. My comments were not ment to offend but supposed to be funny. Humour on a forum such as this is often missread and I should have learnt my leason along time ago but I just can't help it. Charles do you have your answer???????
