My firewall has most of them. It has 2 sk(4), 2 nfe(4), fxp(4), and 
xl(4), with xl and fxp connected to my ISP and the others on my 
internal network. My testbed has sk(4), nfe(4), and dc(4), connected to 
my DMZ, for ipfilter testing. My main build machine and my current 
laptop have sk(4), nfe(4), bge(4), while my i386 testbed (an old 
laptop) has rl(4).

I have a spare motherboard (in case something breaks, while I purchase 
a replacement) with nv(4). All parts, including CPUs, are 
interchangeable.
