The decent testers (such as a professional cable installing friend of mine
uses) do a full range of tests, at both 10Mbs and 100Mbs speed, including
cross talk, attenuation + a host of other things. The customers gets a
certificate _per_ connection, listing all the details... The decent testers
use proper TDR techniques to do a full range of testing, more than just "The
wires conduct, and their in the right order at both ends" :-)

Typically around 2Gb's... I do a lot of DVR work, so I always have large files
kicking around :-)

Don't have two boxes to test from... I've toyed with replacing my current NT
install with FreeBSD, I guess I just love Delphi too much :-) [hence need
Win32 :)] + The company database runs only under Win32 so far...
