Hello,

I have a hypothetical question with practical implications: Assume two 
computers plugged into a 100baseTX switch. Computer 'A' has a 100baseTX 
interface and computer 'B' has a 10baseT card.  When 'A' is talking to 'B' 
through the switch, does it send its frames at the slower 10 Mbit/sec rate, or 
does it send to the switch at the full 100 Mbit/sec and the switch shift it out 
slower to 'B'?
