Ethernet Adapter terminated?


Sorry, I'd RTFM if I could find one with the infomation in it! INFO
doesn't help.

Is the Ethernet adapter (adapter number 2-1) terminated internally?
If so, is this switch selectable?

And what is the difference between en0 and et0 anyway?

Thanks in advance

No.  BTW, it is now also sold by 3Com.  Believe it or not, 3Com's
price is higher, $895 vs $695.

et0 is the 802.3 interface and en0 is standard ethernet.

Does et0 (the 802.3 interface) respond to standard ethernet packets yet?
I know originially that it did not, so we have never used it.
