The 3B2/310 uses the faster WE32100 chip and does have the capability of installing a MAU. I have no idea whether the speeds cited above are correct. Installed disks, memory, and ports are usually available in several configurations (package A, package B, etc). -- Tom Gillespie ( ...att!picuxa!tgr) | (attmail!tgillespie) (201) 952-1178 AT&T/EDS Product Integration Center 299 Jefferson Rd.
