A related question, I currently have a 3.1-STABLE box with a Ye32 (ISA)
[acting as a pager notification and serial console multiplexor for several
dozen Sun/etc. boxes], and am nearing the time when I'll need to expand
above the 32 ports.

Is it possible to, and are there any problems I should know about, putting
another Ye32 (ISA) in the same box?  Anyone done such a thing?  From the
comments above and others I've seen, should I stick with the ISA variant
rather than trying to add one of the PCI cards?
