Hi Chris.

I need to be more specific -- Needs to plug into a PCI Slot (Internal
card), and it would be nice if it accepted 4 channels/card.  There will
be a large number of cards, so a chassis is needed -- hence the PCI
requirement.  And it would be nice if this could be done under Linux,
otherwise (due to VM Requirements), it will be a MS license per card,
and I would like to avoid giving Redmond that much money if at all possible.

Regards,
Steve
