Mea culpa, right you are.I knew it was a combo, but not having the
big dual dongle around anymore, I had forgotten what the other half
was. That and it's been about 5 years since I last used a 10b2
network...

There are a few 16 bit 100bT cards out there. This would be handy to
work on the newt, as my office runs non-switched 100bT and it's a
pain having to use a switch to connect every time.

Idle daydreaming...
