I am.  core1.intersurf.net has 8 ethernet interfaces right now.  Only 5 of
them are in use, but that will change in the coming months.  (Actually I

The ZNYX 314s are the ones I'm using.  I haven't had any problems with
them, other than the ones I cause myself by being awake etc. *grin*

You'll have to run stable.  2.2 isn't the next release from what I hear.
2.1.1 or something.  Ask Jordan or whoever is the RE for the next release.

Have a good one.
