Richard, If you are interested in restricting the speed of your Ethernet link you should be able to do it from your Network Settings: - from Control Panel; - choose "Network"; - choose the adapter card' then - "Properties"; - choose the "Advanced" tab; then - you should find one of the options listed in the box on the left something to do with "Link Speed", highlight it; - then you should be able to select in the right-hand drop-down box "10Mb/duplex"

I have several choices, but would like to hear from others before I make the leap. 1) I understand that 10MB/sec Ethernet will operate on Cat 3 twisted pair and that normal phone wiring is Cat 3. If use my existing phone wiring (multiple pairs running all over the house) what are the chances that I will have interference coupled to my telephone or vice versa? 2) If I use a 10/100 MB network interface card, are there options to force the network to operate at 10MB? 3) My other option is go wireless, but there are two competing standards RF and 801.11b. Some reviews indicate that the latter may soon be replaced by another 801 standard. Also, some reviews indicate that 801 is not as good a product as one would be lead to believe.Is wireless networking in the home effective and if so, which standard should I use.
