[HECnet] Towards the Mouth of Madness....

In 2005 speed wasn't the problem but redundancy was difficult to design in ethernet. I'm not a tokenring fan but the relianility of FDD- was impressive.

I thought all the new ethernet stuff does jumbo frames for those that like that kind of thing anyways....

  
Not true, not unless the implementation is crummy.   Any halfway decent fast Ethernet host will run at wire speed, and the difference between 1500 and 4460 MTU isn't enough to amount to very much.
