sorry didn't know that ... I am pretty sure they all said 10mbs .... i must have
misread the booklet ...
under equipment tested and does not work :
3c905b-tx-nm only works at 10... I took that to mean will work at 10mbs ......

Actually looking now i may have been trying 905b-tx's tonight ....

What card would you suggest?
How long does the load take ( isp is giving me the boot ) ?

Thanks,
    Rodney
