You would be surprised the number of times I have needed a 4th port. After EXT, 
INT and Failover you have none left.
My standard is 4 port Astlinux box now. I really like APU2-4.

Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Which Alix Mainboard to use with new Astlinux

For 10 € more I‘ve rather have a spare one.

BTW: Did you look at the commit log the last 2 days :-) ?

Michael,
  What are the good uses for a 4th NIC?  I suppose if you wanted two completely 
isolated internal LAN networks without using VLAN it could be useful, would 
require separate h/w switch and wiring of course.  Any other good uses?
