Not sure what you're looking for.  If you just need to connect to
single mode fiber, you want a LAN card with and AUI port.  Then you
buy an AUI/Fiber interface and connect your two fibers to that.  Pay
attention to the connectors and get an adapter that has the correct
cable connectors for your cable.  If they are using multi-mode fiber,
you should also be able to get an adapter for that.

For example, 3Com has a card, but it's only for multi-mode.  If your
client is using single mode, then what?
