As far as I can see they stopped producing PCI DSL modems quite a while
ago.  They sell USB and ethernet ones, but not PCI.  And even at "old
good" times there were only 2 or 3 models with PCI interface, the rest
were USB or Ether.

I personally recommend ethernet modem - it will work with any OS including
linux.  USB modems with linux support exists, but that support is somewhat
flaky.

Also, many DSL modems nowadays comes with 4-port ethernet switch and
wireless access point, which may be handy too.  Both optional.
