I struggled with the same problem, what I tried to do is getting an ExpressCard ->PCMCIA adapter 'cause they are pretty cheap, and the laptops I gotta work with all have an ExpressCard slot. I haven't got the adapters yet (I ordered them a week ago), so I can't tell if they an good or not, but I just wanted to mention this, so it may help someone.

I'd like to play around with OsmocomDECT a bit, but my prehistoric laptop with PCMCIA (my Pismo) has given up on me and all desktop computers I have are PCIe, none has PCI (the oldest being a PowerMac G5). But they all do have USB, and I have a Sinus 702 data, also known as Gigaset M34, a USB DECT adapter. Here are the details as seen from the PC side: DECT Data Device: Produkt-ID: 0x0026 Hersteller-ID: 0x0681 (Siemens Information and Communication Products) Version: 1,00 Seriennummer: 00045ABF42 Geschwindigkeit: Bis zu 12 MBit/s Hersteller: Siemens AG Standort-ID: 0x04100000 / 5 Verfügbare Stromstärke (mA): 500 Erforderliche Stromstärke (mA): 90 I couldn't find too much information on the chipset in these things, but if anyone is interested in hacking around with this, I could bring it to the camp.
