Some time ago there was a question on this list that concerned the
use of a 10/100 switch or hub. There was a reply stating that a dual
speed hub would only work at the speed of the slowest connected
device. So a mix of 10 and 100 devices would cause all to run at only
10 mbps.
At the time I was dubious of this and have since looked into the
question and while there may indeed be some hubs with this
limitation, a modern autosensing dual speed hub will allow each
device to run at its max speed, just as a switch will do, although
without the other advantages of a switch of course, but they are
cheaper.
Just thought I'd like to clear that up.
