They used to sell them but have stoped as the US manufacturer went belly up.
Unfortunate as I bought one 4 weeks ago before i found out. I picked it from
ADSL Guide as the only PCI card listed with Lunux support. Drivers supplied
were for Kernel 2.4.16 but work OK but after digging through Solwise forums
and throwing the useless install manual away it works fine on a Demon solo
connection.

Having checked Solwise website they no longer seem to offer a Linux compat
card and when I spoke to the Tech helpline there they were pretty clueless
on linux
