I disagree  pc's work well with Hayes compatible modems, and
USR is particularly reliable.. in fact Hayes is now offering life
time warranties on their products... usually companies unsure of the
reliability of their products tend not to do this.  I have used
Hayes compatible modems for years on PC's and find that proper terminal
software, utilities, and compatibility are phenomenal... and what do
you mean by 'junk'??? For the cost.. less than $400 for a 2400 baud
via mail order, it is affordable as well.  

Why would many other companies put such an emphasis on Hayes comp.
... profit yes, but surely they consider available sofware and hardware
compatibility... your comment is narrow-minded.. or maybe you've been
hardwired at 19200 too long
