In theory... But I have only 8 IP's free. If I use a Quad-NIC
I need for times a /30 Network which are effectiv 16 IP's.
Curently I have:
publicnet /192 192.168.1.0-63
privatenet /224 192.168.1.64-95
securenet /240 192.168.1.96-111
cybernet /248 192.168.1.112-119
wavenet /128 192.168.1.128-255
So I have only one /248 in 192.168.1.120-127 left
Note: I must configure it like that, because in the next
time I will get a whole /24 public iP range.

Long time ago for me... it was Version 2.9.4 with Dave C.

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 <http://www.preisvergleich.de/> but without any
knowledge of types I am lost.
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)
