xDSL PC Card Modem good for toubleshooting?

Does anyone know of a company that produces a PCMCIA, PC Card or Cardbus xDSL modem?  I have seen a few PCI cards, but nothing for a laptop or PC Card slot.  I think I remember a Linux appliance manufacturer that had a PCMCIA DSL card to go with a small network appliance?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a small, portable xDSL modem that has decent Diagnosis tools in the firmware?

Best Regards

Card market is too small, pci makers decided to pursue other interests.

Thanks for the input, I found what I was looking for.  Sunset has the Sunset xDSL tester which is a standalone test unit that tests e v e r y t h i n g.  It is extremely expensive (you have to get a quote).  

Sunset also has a PC Card (PCMCIA) called Cardtest xDSL.  It supports PPPoA, PPPoE, and RFC1483 (both static and dynamic) WAN protocols and auto-detects line encoding schemes including T1 413 issue2, G.DMT, and G.Lite.  It will act as a full ADSL modem or a single-ended test unit.  It supports up to 8Mbps downstream.  It is also based on the Alcatel chipset which supports a majority of DSLAMs around the world.
