Hello all!


Just wondering if anyone has had any experience using a Cogent EM964 4 port 
ethernet card? From what I know about the card it uses shared interrupts for 
all of the ethernet ports. The question I have is does it SEE all of the ports 
as separate cards or what?! I know it has a separate DEC 21040 chip for each of 
the ports, so HOPEFULLY it just thinks it has 4 cards.....

Well,looking forward to any and all responses!


Thanks..
