Yes, 2400 baud modems will work with the Commodore 64 although the disk drive
runs at 1700 baud.  If the terminal supports 2400 baud then the modem will
work with it BUT you may be slowed down a little from true 2400 baud.  I
have an Amiga (the before advice is from a friend) and they have to do some
pretty fancy tricks to pull off 1200 baud much less 2400 baud.  I would try
one out at a dealer before laying down any money.  Not to mention, there
are two separate protocols for 2400 baud modem handshakes and you would be
suprised how many modems use Bell instead of the much better CCITT V22.bis.
Racal-Vadic and Multics make CCITT V22.bis faithful modems.  USRobotics
doesn't.  Have a good look.

Some words of advice.
