Hi all,
As usual, the reponses were fast and reliable.
I asked:
> I have a Dec 3000/700 currently on thinwire (10base2).
> Soon it will be forced to use twisted pair (10BaseT).
>
> Do I have to set any console environment variables for this change to happen
> or do I just plug in the new media ??
The general consensus was:
Get to the boot prom, ie, >>> prompt
>>> printenv
>>> setenv ethernet 10bt
>>> test ni
>>> boot
