I beg to differ, but currently Digicom makes a V.32bis modem, which on the
Mac is marketed by Prometheus as the Ultima (it also includes 9600 bps 
fax capability).  Soon there will be several others, as well, so the best
advice would be to get the best modem available, which (given sysop
pricing) is now probably the Courier V.32bis ($459 each to sysops, I
think; Dual Standards can be had for $499).
