Viking PCI ADSL2+ Modem Card -- http://www.yawarra.com.au/pdfs/XC-P-ADSL2-V.pdf
does anyone have any expirence with these cards and know if they do
work with OpenBSD or know if they are better options
These should work fine - the S518 presents itself as a special ADSL
controller on the PCI bus, but AFAIK the 519 is actually an ethernet
chip (Realtek 8139?) paired up with an ADSL modem on a PCI card, so all
the computer sees is an ethernet card.
I think you configure the ADSL modem by telnetting to it through the
ethernet card, but I'm not sure.
