If I use a Quad-NIC I need for times a /30 Network which are effectiv 16 IP's.

I was searchin eBay for Quad-NIC, but nothing found in France/Germany. And sellers in UK or the USA do not sell to EU because the Transport is to expensive. Best is, if I know some types of "cheap" NICS with 4-port HUB, then I can search it in but without any knowledge of types I am lost.=20 I know only the Intel GBit Quad-NIC which I have in Paris in a P4-Router in 3 X-PCI-Slots (64 Bit and 66 MHz) > Best o' luck. >=20 > Peter E.
