Hey guys. Ran into a problem the other day. A customer of mine has a 100Mbit network, with 100Mbit hubs. They want ISDN access, so they hook a Pipeline 50 to their hub, dial it up, connect to the internet. But, hey nothing on the network can see it. Doh! I didnt think about the little 10Mbit into 100Mbit hub problem. I called Ascend and they said they do not have a router than can do 100Mbit yet, does anyone here know of an ISDN router that will support 100Mbit, or some kind of AUI transceiver that may go 10 to 100? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

When faced with a similar request recently, I found nothing in the low-end market that had a 100BT interface. You can get one on a Cisco 36xx router. Or for less money, run from your Pipeline into a switch that has at least one each 10BT and 100BT ports. With an ISDN link, the 10BT "bottleneck" is a moot point.

http://www.hp.com/rnd/whatsnew/stories/hubslash/hubslash.htm I'm using this at home. List is $429, discounted is about $360. Has 8 10/100 autosensing ports, perfect for interconnnecting. Luke Parrish wrote:

*&^%$!!!!!! All my devices are 100BaseT, so I can't confirm that it works with 10baseT. I'll try and find a 10BaseT device, and report back. Sorry! Luke Parrish wrote:

Well, Looks like J3234A + J3247A about $1,200 total will give you what you want. My setup insists on talking 1000BaseT only. The $1,200 is still less than a Switch tho'. Luke Parrish wrote:

Common problem. USR doesn't do it either. Get a small 10/100 switch that's per port switchable. Then you can hook up a few other things that may only do 10 Mbps. This will probably be an even bigger problem over the next few years at least with giga coming out. --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean@av8.com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP http://www.av8.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Linux on an old 386; one 10BaseT, one 100baseT card...
Someone makes 100baseT cards for ISA bus?? A mini-switch with at least one each 10mb / 100mb ports would be cleaner, more reliable, and take up less space. There are some questions where Linux is not the answer :) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <jlewis@fdt.net> | Unsolicited commercial e-mail will Network Administrator | be proof-read for $199/message.

3com 3C515 ISA 10/100 card. An old 386 might not be able to take full advantage of 100 Mb speeds, but if you get anything more than 10 Mb you're ahead of the game. Of course, that's assuming the increase in bandwidth is worth the almost twice as expensive cost. ;^) Matt -- Matthew R.
