Why do you need more? Maximum speed the modems can do is 6Mb. 10BaseT is just enough. If it affects you in any way, install a hardware switch/NAT firewall just after the modem.

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. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
