She should be able to help you out. The boxes we use are 2U (I think
they have 1U available) and have Intel motherboards with serial console
support that works on OpenBSD. With 2 dual-port (I think quads are
available too) Intel FastEthernet cards you can get a 2U box with 5
100Mb Ethernet ports (including the built in port). Couldn't tell you
the price since I don't order them, but supposedly they are pretty cheap
and you can even get support.
HTH,
Mike
