Is it possible to get a 32-bit PCI card which has two LAN ports on?

I have found PCI-X cards and PCI-e cards, but no one seems to make standard 32-bit PCI cards.
 
You can get away with a PCI-X card in a PCI slot if you have the clearance at the back of the slot for the overhang. I had a couple of quad port cards fitted this way in my old test VMware box to give each VM it's own interface.

Just don't expect full speeds from all the ports if you do that though.
