is the fact that it is a switch what allows it treat each port as either 10
or 100 base T? i need a 10 for the rogers modem and presumably for the old
intel netexpress print server which i am going to try to get working. but
the computers are all on 100 base T. is it impossible to have an ordinary
(and cheaper) hub which is able to switch each port between 10 & 100?
the auto-sensing is clearly a benefit, if it is so, however i have been
told that switches are slower than hubs when it comes to heavy data
transfer, such as might occur while doing video editing. do you know if
this true?
