My request was for any third party sources for a PCI network
card that would work in an Ultra Enterprise 450 and provide
routing services for a few small local networks.

While nobody provided such source, a few people corrected the wrong
information I had about the X1034A card. Apparently it is a quad
FastEthernet card, not a quad 10 Mbps-only card as I had it down.

One person also advised me that it is more economical to buy a router
or a switch. I guess she meant it in terms of long-term maintenance,
because in terms of cash down a level 3 router costs many times
the X1034A, at least here in Poland.
