Hello All,

This probably a dumb question, but here goes:

Do all cable modems run @ 10Base-T or are there some that run @ 100baseTx
FD? I have a home net of 10/100 NIC card PC's, but jsut noticed that my
cable modem is only rated @ 10Base-T. Am I wasting the 100 mbps speed since
my cable modem is only 10BaseT?  My SuSE router PC has 2 NIC, one LNE100TX
that uses the tulip driver and a rtl8139-based NIC. The LNE100TX is con-
nected to the cable modem, will run @ 100 mbps, but goes to 10BaseT due to
the modem. Then rtl8139 connects to the home lan via 10/100 N-WAY switch
and happily churns along @ 100 mbps.

If there are any, any economical recommendations for faster cable modem 
that will work under Linux?  (I currently have a Toshiba PCX1000 -nonUSB)

Best Regards,

Keith B.
