 You're right, I stand corrected. FDX is 100Mbps wide, but bi-directional,
so it's only 12MB/s maximum theoretical speed (not including protocol
overhead and what-not) .. I was basing the original opinion posted on
assumed total bandwidth (100Mbps both ways) which is incorrect.

 I apologize for my ignorance :)
