If you are dealing with calling BBSs or dealing in a mailer network like 
FidoNet, then I recommend either a Hayes Ultra 9600 or a USR Dual Standard 
HST 9600.  Both support the ccitt v.32 standard and the v.42 bis standard.  
In addition Hayes uses a proprietary ping/pong protocol while the USR 
sports the favored HST protocol.  Both modems will function with a majority 
of the existing 9600/2400/1200 baud modems out there.  Both also have 
special deals for sysops of bulletin board systems.
