Hi Jim!

Another solution which should work as well: 2->1 PCI adapter.
It will only give you one extra PCI-slot and may require some case
modification - but it's cheap ;o)
(Around 15-20$ here in Denmark)

********************************************
Intel's quad card is 10/100/1000, and is some sweet hardware.  It's still
a bit pricey, although it seems to be more cost effective than the
adaptec card.  They do have a 10/100 dual port card that also looks nice.

I've also find a reference to a card made by silicom, but can't find
anyone actually selling it, or whether it is supported by FreeBSD.

I've also run across a 4 port 10/100 card that appears to be produced
by mikrotik, which seems to be running around USD$125 each most places
I've found it.

Syskonnect also makes some rather nice dual-port gigabit cards.  My
memory of buying a syskonnect card in the past is that they cost over
USD$600.

If money weren't an issue, I think I'd lean towards the intel 10/100/1000
quad card.  I think I would also encourage the client to replace that
lame motherboard of his (all cyrix, including a C3 800MHz processor) with
something supporting PCI-X.

Money being what it is, I think we'll probably lean towards the mikrotik
card.

It seems adding the word 'adapter' to the google search terms makes a
world of difference.  *grin*

I'll keep looking, but I think we've found our answer.

thanks again,
jim
