I'm happy to see that Multitech modems are finally getting the recognition
they deserve.  The MT-224EH not only has MNP Class 5 support (error correction
and hardware based compression) and Speed conversion (allows use of a single
gettydefs entry), but also employs a very robust equalization scheme (which
improves noise rejection) and all settings & stored phone numbers are backed 
up by battery.  
 
The price quoted by Chris is competitive, as the current suggested retail price 
is $649.  But, as a service to the Un*x community, I market these excellent
modems for $799/pair or $410/each.  Hope I don't get flamed for making this
public knowledge.
