Fortunately mine doesn't know that :-)

FastEthernet0 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is DEC21140, address is 0060.471d.b34a (bia 0060.471d.b34a)
..
  Full-duplex, 100Mb/s, 100BaseTX/FX
..

(Of course the 4700 architecture isn't powerful enough to actually drive
a NP-FE and two T3 interfaces with 100% full duplex line rate, but nobody
claimed so)
