Hi

I am going to set up a server running FreeBSD for email.  I have no need
for fancy graphics or anything and would like to install an el-cheapo ISA
card for monitor interface.

Are these supported? 

Is there any performance disadvantage (beyond screen performance) on using
such a card?

Thanks

Chad
hoping to save a PCI slot and some $$$
