Most of the 4-port NICs I've seen use the DEC Tulip 21x4x, which has polling support but not VLAN_MTU or VLAN_TAGGING. I've seen one-quad port fxp using Intel chipset which had polling and VLAN_MTU, but not VLAN_TAGGING. A quick look on CDW comes up with: Intel PRO/1000 MT Quad Port Server Adapter ($500) http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=475069 http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000mt_quad_server_adapter ...which ought to do, or even: Sun Quad FastEthernet network adapter - 4 ports ($1600) http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=737129 ...which is rather expensive. :-) There's also a Adaptec ANA-64044 LV KIT 4 port 66MHZ NIC ($480) http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=437044 ...but I don't know what chipset that is using. -- -Chuck
