I wouldn't let the collision light bother you too much as long as your
transfer rates are OK . I have a DLINK 10/100 HUB...a Addtron 10 HUB and
CPRO 10/100 NICs ...Kingston 10 NICS >>PCI and ISA ...  every time I
transfer a large file the collision light comes on and stays on....however
I can transfer a 750 meg file in about 4.5 minutes using the 10/100 HUB.
