$150 for 2400 bps (not baud, dammit!) + $60 for the ability to send
a fax is $210.  This doesn't strike me as a good deal.

Prometheus has a 2400 bps (not baud, dammit!) + send FAX modem that
I've seen in stores for $230, and it comes with good software
(Backfax and Macknowledge), and Prometheus is a well known company
in the modem world.  I sold mine, but not because of any flaws in
the product.  Rather, I decided that I wanted something that would
receive also.

For $280 mail order, there is the DoveFAX Desktop, which can also
receive FAX.  Also, the DoveFAX can operate in the background,
and the FAX is 9600 bps, unlike many of the send only FAX modems,
which are 4800.  I've had one for a few days, and it seems to work
fine.
