Found an old list of SSL accelerator cards at
http://www.peoplebridge.com/Performance/links.htm
and tracked down updated links for the products mentioned
there. IMHO the right place to hook these things
in is at the OpenSSL crypto library level. I think ncipher
might already do this, at least to support Apache.

Cards that may support Linux:

http://www.phobos.com
http://www.ibm.com/security/cryptocards/

Cards that probably don't support Linux:

http://isg.rainbow.com/products/cs_1.html
http://www.chrysalis-its.com/product/spec_sheets/toolkit_specsheet.htm

Boxes:

Reviews:

CPUs:
supposedly the Itanium and the Ultrasparc III will both be better
at doing the computations of SSL than were the Pentium 3 or Ultrasparc 2.

APIs:
RSA's BSAFE BHAPI http://www.rsasecurity.com/news/pr/970730.html
