I've had bad luck with AVATEX modems.  The first experience was with
the $89 "Hayes Compatible" 1200 modem.  First, it has no speaker, minor
problem.  Second, the command set other than ATDT doesn't work.  Calling
them up and inquiring if this modem was really supposed to be Hayes
compatible, they pointed out that they use it to talk to their Hayes
all the time.  I guess finally they figured it out because they now
have a 1200hc model which really is supposed to be compatible.

I used this modem for about 3 months and now it's dead.  I've got four
Ventels and a few Apple modems sitting right next to it and they never
see any problems but this thing was always pretty querky.
