I'm running various server programs on a PC running Fedora on a LAN

ethernet cards in the box to increase connection speed on the LAN,
is this possible and/or realistic? Some of the server programs are
meant for external access (web, ftp, mail, etc), some are just meant
for internal (file server) access. I suppose I may not be able to
increase speed for external access because the connection to the
modem will be the bottleneck, and that's fine, but could additional
cards speed up traffic to/from the server on the LAN?
Unless you are already at Gigabit behind your Belkin, or are
particularly cash strapped, you are probably better-off just upgrading
things to Gigabit Ethernet rather than trying to juggle multiple NICs.
