Thanks to all for quick responses.
The first response came from Sydney Weinstein [syd@myxa.com], who wrote:

full duplex. (its the old lance chipset)
So, the answer is no. Guess I'll just have to go and upgrade to brand new
machines! Wahoo!
Thanks again.

Subject: 10Base-T Full duplex on Ultra1
Hi
This is kind of a bonehead question. I have an Ultra1/140
with the 10 Base-T Ethernet on board (as opposed to the 10/100 in the "E"
models). It's just being overwhelmed with the traffic going through it (>30%
collisions, way too much traffic). I'm out of S-Bus slots, or I'd put in
another hme card. I'm working on a proposal to upgrade these machines, but
in the meantime, I'd like to at least set it up as 10 Base-T full duplex.
I've searched the archives and the FAQ, and all references
to full duplex are dealing with 10/100 hme interfaces. No mention of what to
do with an le interface. I tried doing an 'ndd /dev/le \?' to get a list of
settings, but it won't give me anything.
So, my question is, can I set the le interface in the Ultra
1 to full duplex? If so, how?
Thanks
Karl
