Not sure how it | was done but I've seen a *BSD PC with about 12+ UTP ethernet ports on it | (consisted of 3x 4-port PCI cards I believe). There are two-port cards available from SMC and ZNYX, and four-port cards available from Cogent and ZNYX. The SMC cards use two INTs, the ZNYX and Cogent cards only use one INT. Yes, 12+ ports are certainly possible. I have configured one with 7 ports myself (4 + 2 PCI, ZNYX and SMC) and one ISA NE2000 clone. Worked fine. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
