I bought the FS108 8-port 100 Mbps switch for $90, and four FA311 network cards for $10/ea. Plus, there's a $5 rebate on each card! I rebuilt my kernel to support the sis driver, enabled gateway, firewall, and natd, installed two cards, put the other two cards in a couple of Win2k boxes, and it works! Thanks to all who responded! That's one thing I have come to appreciate about the FreeBSD community: Ask an intelligent question, and you'll have more answers than you know what to do with :-) Sincerely, -- Paul A.
