Here's my structure:
{Internet}-SB4200-3c509-LEAF-3c509-3Com 10/100 Hub-WinXP
The SB4200 is directly connected (via Cat 5) to the LEAF box. The
3c509B's default to half-duplex. When I use ethtool to force them to
full (eth0 and eth1) the speeds are no different.

I'm with RoadRunner in the central Ohio area. I've just spent maybe 10
minutes browsing their site and I'm unable to find their listed top
speed. However, I'm fairly certain that it is only 5Mb/s. That is
around the speed I got on the speed tests when I connected the modem
to my laptop.
As far as I know, my 3c509B's should be able to easily handle those speeds.
