But I am sure that they exist. What is the model number on your
lan card?

Nice! I wish I had a couple extra e-net cards;
then I'd
make my hp380 my firewall.
That's what I intend to do with it. It's so silent, after all.
Are they that difficult to get hold of, though? There seems to always be some
9000/300 series stuff on eBay. This particular card seems older than the
"motherboard"; I suppose this case has been upgraded from an earlier 300
series without built-in ethernet. In any case, the card is of the type with a
card-edge connector. It plugs into a board with two such connectors, which in
turn connects into the bus with a DIN connector.
If one is creative with a hacksaw, it should be possible to fit two ethernet
cards into that adapter backplane.
