It uses the Texas Instruments chip set and works fine. There are only 2 small drawbacks to it. It doesn't have a speaker, so you can't hear it dialing. And its default when it powers up is set to auto-answer, which is easily corrected by initializing it in my autoexec.bat via 'echo ATS0=0 > com2'. It's made by KISS Engineering and comes with a 5 year warranty. Their tech support is good. I've had it for a year with no problems. Price is $100. Comes with comm software, I don't remember what. Order line is 1-800-442-2285. Also in the Aug issue of Computer Shopper there is a company advertising a $95 modem with a 30 day free trial. It is a 2400 baud, Hayes compatible, half card, and also uses the TI chip set. From the picture, it doesn't seem to have a speaker, but I can't tell for sure. They say software is included.
