There are two things unclear about your request.  First, all of the
modems that I'm aware of that operate on phone lines at > 2400 baud
don't operate in a real full-duplex mode, where the reverse channel
has the same bandwidth as the forward channel, both operating
concurrently.  If your normal use of the remote computer is as a
terminal communicating with a mainframe, that may not matter.  If
you're sending a lot of data both ways, it probably does.

Secondly, the major consideration for you should be what high
speed modems are available on the computer you intend to dial up.
Most high speed modems don't work with other brands or types.
That consideration alone will probably limit your choices.
