Yup - have a look at this link to harris technology:

Dynalink ALH-110 PCI ADSL Modem
I love the "product requirements" field:
Product Requirements
- IBM Compatible PC (minimum Pentium 166MHz).
- 32Mb Ram.
- CD-Rom Drive for Driver and Software Installation.
- 20Mb Disk Space.
- Microsoft Windows 95/98/98se/Me/NT4.0 (sp 3 and above)/2000/XP.
Linux (Kernels 2.2.0, 2.1.12/14, 2.4.2)
knock yourself out!
==========
Frankly, I wouldn't touch Dynalink with a barge pole - just too many
failures over too many years.
We prefer D-Link and they have internal ADSL modems WITH linux drivers.
