Unless both cards are on different physical nets, they will just fight over the Ether, and you get _less_ throughput as a result. There were patches (part of Beowulf) that allowed to bind several eth interfaces (on separate nets) into a super-interface. -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Viña del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
