I basically agree with Larry.  100Mbps equates to a real-world of around
10MBps.  8 bits/byte, of course, + packet & parity overhead means the
theoretical max of 12.5MBps is unachievable.  9-10MBps is about the best
you can expect.

And here, a Cisco shop for years, we've always had to hard-code our
server adapters (both Intel & iSeries) to match the switch vs. leaving
everything on Auto.  This was at the request of the network gurus.
