The other side, which I dont control, is supposedly set to 10 Full 
Manual as well.  I think I will have to get a box in the lab and test 
for myself to see how it works where I can control both ends.

On another box at the lab, I did confirm that if I set the NIC to 10 
full manual

# ifconfig sis2
sis2: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
         options=8<VLAN_MTU>
         ether 00:00:24:c8:fa:de
         inet 1.1.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 1.1.1.255
         media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex>
         status: active


and the switch port is set to

interface FastEthernet0/33
  duplex full
  speed 10

it seems to work.... I wonder if the media converter I plug into is 
really set to 10 Full....
