OOPs, I said operating system twice. One more time and Windows will appear 
in front of me. :-)

BTW, just for the record 1000BaseT is not 1000 megabits per second ethernet.
It's four 250meg connections operating in parallel. In normal circumstances,
I'm not sure that matters, but it might. 

I also have no idea of what happens when one of the connections stops
working, do you loose them all, or does it just slow down?
