In my opinion - access mode on SE100 makes no sense...
SmartEdge in this mode sends traffic only via signle link.
It makes sense when you have 2 linecards and link-group spans between 
linecards.
Than, in case of linecard crash traffic continues to flow.

Other modes - dot1q - will do load sharing, but you can't have 
subscriber circuits on them (pppoe, clips).
