This is what I do... I use an old Linksys router running OpenWRT. I have forced the port my IIci is connected to to 10Mbit/s half duplex. Some hardware handles the fallback to 10Mbit better than others, but this is the solution I settled on with my collection of available hardware. -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
