You should really consider the Teleport Modem from Global Village.  You can
get it mail order for about $125 including shipping (slightly more for fax
sending capability).  It is 2400 baud and completely Hayes compatible. 
It also plugs into an ADB port (yes it includes a through box) and requires
no esxternal power supply.  It is tiny, so the software included places a menu
bar at the top of any Com. software you happen to be running.  A CDEV is
included thast allows you to monitor the status of the modem at any time.
The Teleport has won numerous awards (Best Com. product MacUser)  I have
been using mine for over a month and it is well worth the extra $25.
