You'll see absolutely no difference in connection speed, the cable connection is your bottleneck. (I've NEVER heard of anyone getting a 100mbit connection via cable!) Time your transfers....10 mbits/sec is around 1220kb/sec max, well beyond what you'll get on most cable modem setups. In fact, most of the time (I'm on a reasonably fast machine connected via a 100 mbit pipe to the internet, and I usually get somewhere between 400-800 kb/sec download speeds.) Also, don't forget your cable download speed may be limited by your cable provider and/or other local cable users on your subnet. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
