i have some pcie-ems, there are pcie-bnxs, and certainly others. fibre limits your options. i usually terminate wan fibres on a switch and use copper or plain sx (really just copper these days) to the routers - has the disadvantage that you don't see link state changes directly, has the advantage of added flexibility and just connecting two machines for redundancy reasons (details differ a lot depending on environment). that said, it shouldn't be too hard to find a pcie-sx card. lx could get hairy. -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
