My Pismo has an auto-sensing Ethernet card.
Auto-sense means the card will automatically adjust for a 10 million bits per second or a 100 million bits per second connection. The other end of the connection (a fixed speed hub; an auto-sensing or fixed speed switch interface; a fixed speed router interface; or another auto-sensing Mac) will dictate the speed negotiated. If the ends are both auto-sensing then they will negotiate for the highest speed both can handle.
To set up a connection to another Mac, you simply need to use a crossover Ethernet cable. If you use a straight thru cable, you will have to use two and a hub. You will also be restricted to the speed of the hub.
Let me know If you need more info.

Is the ethernet port on a G3 PowerBook (Pismo) auto sensing or did that come only to more recent PowerBooks?
If you don't know what I mean by auto-sensing, I mean can it set up an ethernet network to another Mac without a hub, switch or router - by use of an ethernet cable only - and it doesn't matter if the cable is normal or cross-over? An auto sensing PowerBook would be able to tell and adjust accordingly.

The glass isn't half full or half empty. It's twice as big as it needs to be.
