           Soekris Engineering vpn1201 and vpn1211
                           See http://www.soekris.com/.  Contains a 7951 and
                           supports symmetric and random number operations.

           Soekris Engineering vpn1401 and vpn1411
                           Contains a 7955 and supports symmetric (including
                           AES), random number, and modular exponentiation op-
                           erations.
<snip>
     The Hifn 7751, Hifn 7811, Hifn 7951, Hifn 7955, and Hifn 7956 chips all
     support acceleration of DES, Triple-DES, ARC4, MD5, MD5-HMAC, SHA1,
     SHA1-HMAC, and LZS operations for ipsec(4) and crypto(4).  The Hifn 7955
     and Hifn 7956 chips additionally support AES-CBC.  The Hifn 9751 only
     supports LZS.

     The Hifn 7811, Hifn 7951, Hifn 7955, and Hifn 7956 will also supply data
     to the kernel random(4) subsystem.

I don't see RSA listed there anywhere, sorry.
