I'll second the DFE-570TX. This is a WONDERFUL 4-port card, and you
can find them for $40 or so on ebay. The tulip chipset is very well
designed and doesn't have the overhead issues many of the other cheap
cards have.
I'm also a fan of the DFE-570TX's cousin, the Znyx ZX340Q. Those go a
bit cheaper still when they pop up on ebay, and Znyx's Linux support
is first class.
