..via the same logic that makes Glenn the "bad guy"...
This is a clear case of a customer with more dollars than sense.

Yep.
But all too often there is a world of difference between what 'actually is the
case', and what the non technical client perceives as 'being the case' !
In this case, their perception is very different to reality, but they are not
going to believe me, no mater how I tell them, as they perceive 'me' as being
the one who has solved there initial problem, by getting rid of there much
dearly loved 4 nic redundancy.
Such is life !
As a side note, I'd really like to know how a company of 109 people justifies a
56Mbit frame relay internet connection, that's a very thick internet pipe for
just over 100 people !
GJ.

This is stupid; four single-port NICs are no more "redundant" than two
dual-port NICs.
If they're that anal, it's time to scale their server out.

HP Field service has swapped the 4 single port Nic's for 2 dual port ones. 1
fibre, 1 gigabit. Some 3rd level support guy put an entry in the call log, that
this is a know issue, and to replace with dual port nic's [truncated by sender]
