Thanks, phk!

For $79, it's cheap enough that I could put a whole stack of them in a
machine.  Can FreeBSD take advantage of multiple cards like that?

(Yes, that's a serious concern; I'm looking at 15,000 simultaneous
users on a SSL Web site, and would prefer to avoid spending the big
bucks on a so-called "hardware SSL accelerator.")
