[Ollivier Robert]

|   There are some DEC-based PCI cards (Zonyx?) which supports 4 10BaseT
|   interfaces per card.

ZNYX ZX314, among others. I believe also Cogent makes a 4-port card based
on the same DEC chipset. The ZNYX card works just fine with FreeBSD. So if
you have 4 PCI slots, you could have 16 EThernet ports. Plus any ISA cards,
of course :-)
