Just put the second card and configure it. It has couple pitholes,
but is not that hard. If the DSL line endst to a RJ45 connector,
the ger a Intel EtherExpress card and be happy. There are a
few HOWTOS in you know where :)

In my experience Exim is easier and more secure and ..... etc.
I've been using it for some 5-6 months now, without problems.
The hamm version is pretty good. Apache sounds good, but
I have now experience, same with firewalls. Just about the
time to learn :)
