|   Yep, and the answer to _this_ question is ``yes'', but this didn't
|   help you in the end.  You can have a dozen of network cards in a BSD
|   system (but not in a PC, since you'll run out of IRQ lines :).

He can, however, have a dozen Ethernet ports - or more :-)  4-port
Ethernet cards work just fine.
