That seems like an abnormal amount of hardware to run.  I ran 5 nodes on my
windows 95 and 98 machines.  At first with Dos and/or windows for workgroups, I
had 3 different machines running a node each, mainly because of serial port
needs.  I will say I ran 5 nodes, but only two were actually accesable as I
only had two modems attached.  That network, BTW was run under Lantastic

Believe what you want.
