Thank goodness ethernet never has problems with negotiation going awry, and coming up with mismatched duplexes, and vendors never had to implement "no negotiation-auto" in their configs because you couldn't count on everyone's implementations working together just absolutely perfectly the first time on bootup. Yes, it sure is a good thing ethernet never has issues like that which would cripple your ability to get a box up and running at 2am. Matt PS--while we're at it, can I have a pony?
