No, not on this Machine and I don't have one of those around (beside the ones
for ISA:-)). What type of inexpensive HFC-XXX card would you suggest to buy for
a one-channel S0 solution? I've seen that Beronet has a "Single Port HFC S0
Card". I guess that one should be quite inexpensive. 
Any other suggestions?

For the time being: Just restarting FreeBSD does not unblock the second channel,
so I did a complete shutdown, removed power and started again. That did get it
going on both channels again, but I don't know for how long. 
For a fix until I've got another card, is there any method of resetting the card
to it's power-up state without a complete power down?
