Introduction
If you've wanted to connect your computers together to
share files, applications, CD-ROM drives, hard disks,
printers, and more, look no further! The 10/100
Network In a Box comes with everything you need to
get up and running in just a few minutes. Just plug in

grate your old 10Mbps hardware with no hassles!
Fast Ethernet is a relatively new standard of networking
built specifically for speed-intensive network applica-

imaging, and complex databases. Capable of sending
and receiving data at 100 megabits-per-second over 4
wires in half duplex mode, and 200Mbps in full duplex,
Fast Ethernet technology is at least 10 times faster than
traditional 10BaseT networks.
Built to run with the fastest video, publishing, graphics,

both 10BaseT and 100BaseTX networks right out of the
