Those are definately switches, EXCEPT that if you have a multiport card
in one of the slots of the 2900 (say, an 8 port 100BaseT card), then the
ports on that card are hubbed with respect to each other, and appear as
a single switch port to the rest of the switch.

But I also thought that these switches only supported FDX on the 100
ports.
