The USR Courier 2400 modem has been advertised at $179 in some places. 
I have had no trouble with mine, but in the modem wars of a few months back
a few people told of getting units that were Dead On Arrival.  Mine is
completely Hayes compatible.  I have used it with no problem on IBM PC's
as well as several types of Apple.  It connects to every 2400 baud system
I have tried it on with no problem.  The reason the modem is so cheap is 
because it has been discontinued by USR.  They have redesigned their 2400
baud modem (probably with a new chip set to save money) and have offered a 
9600 baud model.  I would say it's a good deal since USR is still in business
and can fix the thing if it breaks in the future.
