USB and ethernet card

I am looking for a PCI card that has 1 or 2 USB ports and a 100BaseT Ethernet port. Is there such a thing available?
My 8600 only has 3 PCI slots that are currently filled by a Belkin 2-port USB card, a Sonnet Technologies ATA/60 card, and an ATI Radeon 7000 video card. My on-board ethernet port is 10BaseT.

No such thing.
I suggest you live with the 10Base-T speed (which won't matter one bit unless you're transferring lots of very large files on a LAN, and no, your DSL or cable connection doesn't count).

...so my high speed cable internet connection won't benefit from a faster ethernet connection?

Nope. It's 1.5Mbps at best, and I doubt you're paying the $150-200/month most ISPs want for that speed.
