There is an Intel dual NIC available for 2.5k
I buy from Richie street. Also in Bangalore. I am sure you will get in
Hyd as well.
I wonder why no one in LUG knows this.
You can put two of them in two PCI and you get 5 NICs right?

I would like to know from this list if anybody has used ZeroShell (

Yes. It is awesome. I am using it in my office and have also
deployed it at a few client sites using PCEngines ALIX boards (3
NICs).
I am trying to add two ISP connections and distribute the same to all the
users in an Organization.
But the following problems are encountered:
1. Most of the systems are having One ethernet (which is onboard) and only
one PCI slot.
What kind of form factor boards are you using? Most microATX do have
couple of PCI-e slots and you can put PCI-e NICs in them.
2. In the market getting Dual NIC is becoming difficult and also want to
know - if anybody tried differently.
In Mumbai, they are available but the cost is not worth it.
You can get quad port (used) Gb NICs on ebay.us for under USD100.
Ping your US based friends to ship one to you. Avoid direct India
shipments from the vendor; S&H charges are on the high side usually.
Soekris quad / dual port PCI cards are also a good option if fast
ethernet is good enough for you.
As an alternate you can try good quality USB > RJ45 adapters but I
would not recommend them for office use.
