Works great now, too...provided your expectations have stood still for
the last 35 years.

Most people's haven't.  Not even mine.  I've been spoiled by 100Mb and,
to a lesser extent, gigabit.

Not that I consider 10Mb useless.  My desktop is an SS20 with nothing
but 10Mb.  (It has a qec/qe in it, but not for the sake of bandwidth;
it's so that I can reach each of my three major house subnets from said
desktop even when my house router is down.)  I even (slightly recently,
ca. 2015 maybe?) netbooted a machine over an Ethernet-over-serial
netlink - it took *forever* to boot, but it worked.  I forget how fast
it was, but probably either 115200 or 38400.
