... instructions for connecting a Linux Box to kc.roadrunner.com.
"the only thing you need is a
10BASET network hub (with an uplink port) and a 10BASET network card for
each additional computer. You also need Cat. 5 cable to connect each
computer to the network hub.
As far as additional cost is concerned, for each additional IP address
the cost is an extra $10 per month.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to call us, or check
out the newsgroup:  news:roadrunner.kc.shareknowledge.homenetwork ."

Per the Ethernet Howto:

There are two ways that you can enable auto-probing for the second
(and third, and...) card. The easiest method is to pass boot-time
arguments to the kernel, which is usually done by LILO. Probing for
the second card can be achieved by using a boot-time argument as
simple as ether=0,0,eth1. In this case eth0 and eth1 will be assigned
in the order that the cards are found at boot.  Say if you want the
card at 0x300 to be eth0 and the card at 0x280 to be eth1 then you
could use

LILO: linux ether=5,0x300,eth0 ether=15,0x280,eth1

The ether= command accepts more than the IRQ + I/O + name shown above.
Please have a look at ``Passing Ethernet Arguments...''  for the full
syntax, card specific parameters, and LILO tips.
