A 10M bps card can only send or receive at 10M bps max. By doing sending and
receiving at the same time, you have the effect of 20M bps traffic. With
only two computers connected with a crossover cable, no switch or hub is
needed. You will have no data collisions and there will always be a full 10M
bps transfer rate. Now, if we could only get that in a larger network!

A friend has a pair of Win98 computers connected with
ISA, 10baseT, 10Mbps NIC's. They are connected with a
crossover CAT5 cable.
The card specs say 10Mbps, (20Mbps full duplex).
Can he get full duplex, 20Mbps, without installing a switch
or switching hub? If so, how?
Or, is there a really cheap switch which can do this?
