Ie let the guest think it has say 3 or 4 virtual NICs? I see that after about 2, it seems to be a little unstable - I got a em0 watchdog timeout once. So, I wanted to know is there any known issue with having more than 2 emulated devices at one time? Has anyone used many, and what's the max that anyone has used with stability? Anjali
