Linux tulip and Win95 Dec21140

Hello,

I have an Win95 with Dec21140-AF (Acer ALN-310) and Samba 1.9.17p2 on Linux 2.0.35 with
Dec 21140-AF, tulip 0.89H. These are connected by crossover cable.

I suppose they can work as 100baseTX-FD.

When I open a file on Sambe from Win95, especially outlook.pst, it it very slow. It might
cause many collision. Indeed, when I connected the two by a 10-base-T hub, the collision
LED lighted every times.

Here is dmesg

1. Why it is very slow ?
2. Do they work as 100baseTX-FD correctly ?
3. Which is better FD or HD ?
