If you have a BT100 card installed in your HP3000, you should verify
that it is a newer revised version of the card.  Apparently there was a
design error and the result we saw was that 10Mb on the card was
actually faster then when we ran it at 100Mb.  Having HP come out and
upgrade the card made a big difference!
