There are SOME 100Mb that work OK.  But watch for the 2 wire 100Mb with 
POE coming out probably in a year or two.  The target market is for 
sensors (in buildings) or car networks.  Vastly lowered wire costs.

No crossover needed, as it is all on 1 pair of wires!

The 1 pair PoDL is 802.3bu.  The 100Mb is still a study group.  I think 
the PAR will be ready for the November meeting.
