To give you a bit more information, 3xxx equipment is 10baseT. 2xxx is not.
1xxx may be depending on the module involved. If 505 transceivers are used,
it's not 10baseT. If 508s are used, then it is 10baseT.

I believe that LattisNet refers to the proprietary technology and that it is
not applied to the 10baseT stuff, but I'm not sure about that.
