    Do the DECswitch 900EF, 900EE and the PE 200 support full duplex
    Ethernet on the front ports?

1680.2DECswitch 900 FDX Ethernet ports?GUIDUK::STROMSETHJohn StromsethWed Mar 08 1995 21:177
Is this due to the Ethernet chip set used or 'just' a firmware issue?

Any discussions going on to incorporate this into the DECswitches sometime?

Thanks,

>>Is this due to the Ethernet chip set used or 'just' a firmware issue?
    
    John, it's a function of the MAC layer. The LANCE chip can't
    talk and listen at the same time. So it's not a firmware issue.

1680.4Any plans?ROMEOS::HARRIS_MASales Executive IIWed Mar 15 1995 17:014
    OK, any plans to have full-duplex repeater support? The NIC cards
    already have it.
