We are urgently looking for a 2400 Hayes _fully_ compatible modem --
the least expensive, but adequately reliable one:  for use on Mac SE,
SE/20 (with internal 20 MB drive), or the SE/30 or IIcx [last 2 options
for use in the future only].
        We have a Supra 2400 already, and it seems to have been performing
very well -- never have any problem for almost 1 1/2 years of purchase
-- and thus apparently have proved to one of the only inexpensively
reliable one.
        Are they still so good?
        Are they still so inexpensive:
                $129.00 (Programs Plus)?
                $145 (Mac Zone)?
                $139 (MacWarehouse)?

        What about SmartOne 2400:
                $145 (Programs Plus):  w/software & cable -- special?
                $145 (Mac Zone):  uncertain w/software & cable?
                $179 (Mac Zone):  w/Red Ryder; uncertain w/cable?
                $145 (MacWarehouse)?

        MacTech 2400:
                $139 (Mac Zone)?
                $139 (Mac Zone)?
        MacTech 2400M ***** what the difference? *****
                $245 ((Mac Zone)?

And some other slightly more expensive brands:
        Practical Peripherals (Macintosh Communicatins Pack 1.5) 2400:
                $225 (MacConnection)?
        MacPac 2400E:
                $179 (Programs Plus):  w/software & cable?
        CMS 2400BMX:
                $179 (Programs Plus)?
        Practical Modem 2400SA:
                $179 (Programs Plus)?
                $225 (Programs Plus):  w/Microphone & Cable?
