Maybe I'm misremembering, but was sure I did it. Of course, I no longer
have that hardware available. The only hardware I do have will only manage
850Mb/s (933MHz PIII, 64-bit/66MHz PCI, Netgear GA620T CAT-5 GbE card,
PC133 SDRAM - none of it recent hardware, but that's the best a beleaguered
telecomms company can do...).
