I thought they had an EasyConnect64 (or something like that) that was available in ISA and PCI forms. You connect a cable from the card to the DB25, DB9 or RJ45 connector boxes, each with 16 ports. Connect 4 of these and you have 64 ports off one board. I looked at buying one last year, but the project fell through, so I have not actually used one. This info was obtained from their local distributor.
