I've found that:

-2900xl
-3500xl
-3550

...will *continue* to participate in ANEG (and this can be seen in link-beat offered options), but can be *forced* to only offer/operate in specific modes. I.e. 100/fdx, or 10 mbit hdx/fdx. 

Looks like 65xx and 67xx linecards require one to 'force' speed if they wish to also force duplex, implying that ANEG is not exchanged/spoken by ports that are manually-set.
