Yes we all have a good idea as to what the standard MAY be from the work of the 10BaseT committee. However, until the standard IS set, no vendor can legitimately claim to be shipping 10BaseT compliant hardware. So beware of vendor claims! They're all jumping the gun claiming compliance to a standard not yet set to get a jump in the marketplace. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, that is marketing for you!!!
