I am considering buying a Sendfax modem from one of the following.  I would
appreciate any comments from someone having experience with any of them, or any
comparisons in terms of features, or alternative suggestions, vendors.  I am
planning to use it with a Mac SE, mainly to connect to work mainframes from
home.
1. ZOOM/Modem MX2400S with 4800bps Sendfax, fax/modem software. $119
   plus $12 serial cable, mail solicitation from manufacturer.  Add $20
   for 9600 Sendfax. 7-year warranty.
2. Same as above from mail order firm, 4800bps sendfax $119 inc. cable.
   $129 for 9600bps sendfax.
3. MAGIC 2400/4800 Sendfax/modem $99.  2400/9600 for $119.  From
   MacProducts USA.
4.  Challenger VP24/96 (9600 send fax) for $99 from MacCenter.

At which point down this list does it become too good to be truly good.
I assume the cable is additional cost in 3. and 4.
Thanks in advance.
