Multi-Tech also has a line of PCI modems that work quite nicely. I have 
on in a Dell Itanium server using qpage to act as our notification pager 
for Nagios using a TAP-to-SMS gateway.

Works like a champ. noe that this is PCI and not PCIexpress. A lot of 
new servers do not have a pure PCI slot in them anymore.
