	I currently own a USRobotics Courier 2400 baud modem (standalone).
It cost me about $400 a year ago.  I suppose it's possible for, say, the
internal IBM (card version) to be <$200, but that does sound awful cheap.

	I love my courier 2400.  Hayes Compatible???  I dunno, I think it's
close enough.  In My opinion, Hayes screwed up their 2400 baud AT command
spec.  USRobotics did a slam-bang (i.e. Great) job with theirs, from
the dip switch settings to the call progress/autoanswer.  It has all the
features one normally sees in intelligent modems these days (automatic
baud rate, parity, and wordlength detection while the AT command set is
active, programmable levels of intelligence, lots of internal registers
allowing you to change most parameters, etc...)
