We're using a 2-port EEPro with 82551 chips with the two ports connected
with relays and a watchdog; we get excellent throughput in our testing so
far. I don't recall the vendor, it is "Ad-something." I can look them
up Monday if you email me about it then. I think they make a 4-port 551
card without the relays as well, but I don't know about pricing.
