More clearing up...
Jim's description on how an auto-sensing hub works was excellent.
and here's some other thoughts.
The data transfer between any two devices will only happen at the
speed of the slowest device.
So, a Mac talking to a switch at 100bps will talk to the switch at
that speed,

A autosensing hub has a built-in 2 port switch. Any 100Mbps ports are repeated
together, as are the 10Mbps ports. The built in switch connects the 100Mb
group to the 10Mb group.

Thanx for your input. What exactleyt are you saying!?
We used to had that problem and it turned out that Mac OS was the failing
part. We bought a 24 port Intel 10/100 switch and Mac OS got all screwed
when it came to AppleTalking. I eventually solved it by putting a "software
beak" making 100 M
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
