I've used the evercom.  It has full hayes compatibility, relatively
immune to line noise (almost as good as a hayes, nowhere near as good
as the prometheus that took it's place).  It comes with a pretty nice
little communications program called bitcom, which is the only one I've
seen that allows you to create your own terminal emulations.  Other than
that, bitcom is pretty ordinary.  My only complaint about the modem itself
is the speaker.  The volume can only be controlled by an AT command, and
when you do change it, you get all or nothing.  If you're one of those
people who never uses the speaker, this won't bother you.

Yea, I'd recommend it.

I don't work for Everex, nor do I own stock in them (if they offer stock).
