CAT3? Ouch. If you can't be *very* sure which cable run is what (CAT3 vs. CAT5), forcing everything to 10/Full is as good as it's going to get, because CAT3 won't support 100Mbps. Which also makes autonegotiation A Very Bad Idea, as that will happily negotiate 100Mbps over CAT3, even when it does what it's supposed to. Regards, Marco.
