Multi-port NIC

I currently have a computer that is dying. It is a Pentium machine with
seven network cards in it. It was extremely tough getting the ISA stuff
to work properly and we have just decided to never touch it again.

However, I am needing to rebuild this box and am interested in getting
4-port NICs as machines today have less slots.

Anyone know what I should get to work with Linux (it would be Red Hat
Linux, RHEL AS v3)?

Thank you,

Sean

I'm sure there are many others, but we've had very good luck with Intel
based...Single, dual and quad port.

Intel's quad NIC is good, however do note that it is a 3.3v ONLY board. So
you can't use it in a standard 32-bit slot typically.
