If you are considering the Promodem 1200, you choose well.

I have had mine for 3 months, and have found it to be reliable and very
compatible with the Hayes Smartmodem 300 which I used to use.  Even the
cabling is the same.  The Promodem does have a few extra status prompts
in its 'verbose' mode, so I had to alter my login macros for my terminal
program.  I played with the extra features, but not enough to say anything
about them.  I like the fact that the Promodem stores and keeps time, and
it will automatically redial a busy number every 30 seconds.  Also, this
modem is cheaper than a Hayes, and is about the same price as the US
Robotics, and only the Signalman is cheaper.  Another feature I like is
the ability to switch from tone to rotary mode within the same call, and
it can also wait for a secondary dial tone.  Since I just got my Sprint
number, I really appreciate the added intelligence, which makes it more
useful than my Hayes, even if it would go 1200 baud.
