multi-port infrastructure modems

[Matthew Galgoci]

Hey Y'all,

I'm having a problem getting a square peg into a round hole regarding
multi-port modems in a modern server chassis.

The new server is a 1u box with two pci express expansion slots. So far,
I have not been able to find any pci express modems (let alone multi-port
modem cards!) with this type of bus interconnect.

Ok, so fair enough, I order a pci-x riser card to replace the pci express
riser in the server chassis. One of my cohorts orders a multiport pci modem
that we were assured would work. Problem is, this modem is 5V only, and
keyed as such, and will not fit.

I did some more research and the options for solving this problem in a clean
way seem pretty sparse.

Has anyone found such a beast?

Regards,

Matthew Galgoci
