The Madge ATM PCI adapters support multiple LECs in different Elans. They also
support multiple adapters in the same Elan and and combo of the above for the 
paranoid. Exactly how many LECs has not been determined, its a function of your
server memory space but I have witnessed 16 Lecs in a Netware server and 5 in
an NT one (we got bored after this and ran out of LESes).

Is this waht you want?

Same IP address is a function more of the server s/w. Usually you can fake this 
without a problem but please don't do it as it just cause trouble!
