As far as I remember only single port FastE was available for the 2500 and
6000 series Lanplexes.  They were also ridiculously overpriced cards at
the time, so seemed to be fairly rare.  I feel like it may have been
cheaper to do fddi than FastE on those boxes, but I may be remembering
wrong.  Atleast we only did 10bT, 10bF, and fddi on ours.
