Uh-huh.. and what happens to someone with 32 ports on one device
(not uncommon if a linux box were to serve as a sort of dialup
annex server through cards that make your machine a Xylogics
work-alike) but maybe this isn't an issue since from that
point you could buy a second machine and run the manufacturer's
software on the first, then connect the two via ethernet and
spend all your money.
