US Robotics and Black Box both have 2400 baud MNP modems.  The US Robotics 
2400e is MNP Level 3, and the Black Box (I don't remember the name) I think
is Level 4.  

I wouldn't recommend the Black Box modems.  I ended up returning ours
for a refund; they were expensive (about $550), and not as compatible as
they should have been. 

On the other hand, I have no problems at all recommending the US Robotics
2400e modems.  I think they're wonderful.  They work, they're compatible,
they're cheap (we shopped around and bought 7 of them for $405 each), and
the documentation and firmware are both excellent.
