Re: another ethernet question

[Jesse Stanford]

Will a 100BaseT Ethernet card increase the connection speed compared 
to the built-in ethernet (10BaseT) for a DSL hookup from a router?
I expect not, but wanted to make sure.

YOu will have to find out if the router supports a 100T ethernet 
connection speed.  If it does, you may get a small increase in speed. 
The main increase would be on transfers that did not involve the DSL 
because I don't think that the DSL would go up over the 10T.  It is a 
good idea to haver 100T thought because a 100T card will usually 
autosense what speed to connect at and make your computer compatible 
with both the faster and the slower speeds.  You don't really need 
gigabit ethernet yet, it doesn't have many advantages over 100T and 
costs much more.
