Not a card, but a processor, you may be able to contact them and see if they
have an OEM who makes or is interested in making one.

Blub:

Algorithms run much faster on the 7711 processor than they do in
software. For example, the 7711 performs Triple-DES encrypt/decrypt
operations eight times faster than a 155-MHz workstation, according to
an RSA Data Security benchmark. The 7711 combines seven algorithm
engines on a single chip -- Lempel-Ziv-Stac (LZS) and Microsoft
Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC); DES, Triple-DES and RC4 encryption;
and SHA and MD5 authentication -- as well as the IPSec, SSL/TLS, PPP
and PPTP networking protocols.
