    Greetings,

    Just a general question or two.. Please point me to a URL or tell me where
    to RTFM, or answer back ;-).

    What is the status/condition of using muliport NICs and bonding
    them together to form a larger pipe (i.e. a quad channel ethernet card for
    an Intel box, bonding all four interfaces together to get a theoretical
    400Mbps pipe)? Are there any highly recommended cards of this type? Will
    the bonding work when connected to a Cisco catalyst switch with ether
    channel?

    Again, thanks in advance. If you need any further info, or if I need to
    describe something in greater detail please let me know.

    Cheers,
    Will Sarka
