This is just not important unless you run without the C compiler. The
source for the dialer is in /usr/lib/uucp/dial.c, and you can easily
adapt it for other modems, such as HST or Trailblazer. Hayes
compatibility is nice if the other features meet your needs.

We use the MultiTech 224E modems, and they have been quite reliable.
They have MNP level 5, which gives good reliability and thruput up to
4000 bps with a careful setup.

If you will use a lot of long distance, something like the trailblazer
is probably cost effective.
