I've got several 10BaseT ethernet cards laying around and am pondering their worth (i.e., whether to keep them or throw them out). I may, at some point in the future, want to get a DSL connection to the net and am wondering whether using a card like this as an interface to the DSL modem would create any kind of bottleneck. The searching I've done thus far indicates there should be no bottleneck: my cards are capable, in principle, of transferring data at a rate of 10Mbps (10 megabits per second) while ADSL, as I get it, is capable of transferring data at a rate of only 9Mbps at the fastest. Am I doing my math correctly? Shouldn't the speed at which these NIC's can operate always exceed the capacity of the ADSL line?
