Where'd you get that idea from?  A 10-Base-T connection to a switch port
most definitely will (and should) fun full duplex.

Properly configured, yes.  I don't know the details of your issue, but
I've seen more shoddily "auto-detected" connections that I care to
remember (3Com cards on Auto <-> Cisco Catalyst on Auto anyone?).  Lock
the speed/duplex on the switch and the server, and check for collisions,
etc. on the port.
