If BBS activity is your main thrill, I'd suggest the HST either vanilla,
14400 or dual standard, depending on how much you want to invest.

I think your price limit actually precludes one of the dual standard modems
and a v.32 modem isn't going to get you anywhere near as much BBS access as
the HST will.
