multiple port network cards

[Robert Dege]

I'm not sure if you want the specs on this, but it's a 32bit PCI card.
4-port Ethernet card:

It's a tad pricey though, $560

You might be better to just purchase an 8-port Linksys DSL/Cable modem
Router.  Not exactly what you're looking for, but within decent price
range, and should provide the functions that you need.

It's ~$150 street price.
