Viking has been EOL for ages. After the Viking, Traverse started doing "solos" cards which were a "proper" adsl adapter rather than a router-on-a-pci-card, but these seems to have disappeared too, now they do "geos" boards which have a geode cpu (LX800; similar to 5501) and onboard ADSL. I believe both the latter only have driver support in Linux. There are cards similar to the Viking (i.e. basically a hybrid of a PCI ethernet card with an ADSL modem/router) - http://linitx.com/category/adsl/47/147,47 - as with the Viking you configure them by connecting to the web interface or telnet. I don't much like any of these, it's usually better and cheaper (and easier to replace failed hardware, which is usually on the ADSL side..) if you just get a separate ADSL router and live with a little extra mess...
