When we have a auto-neg problem it usually shows up as throughput in

My Standard practice on any new system is to ftp a large file and see
the throughput number.
I also use an old product called UserAccess which is a kind of ftp
with minimal scripting capability. It has the unique ability to send
a bit stream from one system to another without having to read a file
on one end and write it on the other. It gives a real good test of
maximum lan throughput. It's great for debugging lan throughput
problems. I wish there were some other downloadable/free product
that had a similar function.
