While I appreciate the desire, I think that this lead to an unnecessary 
compromise.  There are 20 wasted blank spaces between the SPEED-DUPLEX 
and PAUSE columns, while the value for SPEED-DUPLEX can't possibly take 
but a tiny fraction of that, unless I'm not taking some possible values 
into account.  AFAIK, This can be expanded and still fit well within the 
80 columns.
