Quick question:

Something in my feeble brain seems to remember reading something about 
using two identical NIC cards in a box makes it more difficult to set up a 
firewall.  Is this right or am I just mishmashing stuff in my brain?

As an aside, the box is a 486, and I'll be picking up two ISA NIC cards, 
retail -- not my money, my employers-- probably the Dlink DE220 PCT cards 
since I don't think I saw any others on the shelf.  I'm also going to take 
a stab at installing Debian though it does not look like the net install 
will be that bad, probably have more problems with creating the floppies 
than anything else.

Thanks for any help,
