Mike, Here is a whitepaper on Fast EtherChannel (please continue reading). It talks about Kalpana switches, where Cisco acquired the technology from, and their use of EtherChannel in the early 90s. (look under the title Fast EtherChannel Components, it's in the first paragraph)
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/techno/media/lan/ether/channel/tech/ fetec_wp.htm I don't think there were many Cisco switches that supported EtherChannel. Kalpana switches did (EPS-2015 is one I can think of) and the Catalyst 3000, which was just a Kalpana switch anyway. I bet you could hard set the port speed and duplex on a couple of ports of a 2900-XL or 3500-XL to 10Mbps and setup an EtherChannel group if you really needed to test it. I hope this helps.

I'm not saying I don't believe you, but twice today I've searched Cisco's website to find info on it, and I can't find anything but references to Fast- and Gig-Etherchannel.... I even did a Google search on 'etherchannel' and of the non-Cisco websites that came up, they still indicated it would only work on 100/1000Mbps ethernet.... Thanks! Mike W.
