Personally, I use a USRobotics Direct 2400 modem for the PC.  Its
command language is a superset of the Hayes, and all the reviews I've
seen on it are good.  It has an additionaly feature that the Hayes
doesn't (then again, most Hayes-compatibles have this). It can be
configured to be com3 or com4, which is essential if you already have
two serial ports and don't want to disable one, as in my case.

The best thing about this modem, though, it its price.  I see it regularly
advertised for $189.00 in PC Magazine.  If you don't want to take the
hassle of paging through all the ads, a company in Pennsylvania called
Computer Mail Order (CMO) sells them for this price.  CMO's toll-free
number is 1-800-233-8950.  CMO also has a west coast outlet, but I don't 
know the phone number.

BTW, this wasn't meant to sound like a CMO advertisement, it's just that
I've dealt with them on several occasions and am very satisfied.

Hope this helps.
