For what it's worth, I use a Packard Bell 2400, bought it at a catalog
showroom for around $150.  Works well, no problems running Red Ryder 10.3
or MicroPhone II.  I'm not doing anything fancy with it, though.  The only 
problem I have with it is that it puts its register settings into a RAM
which is volatile.  When the power goes off or when I go into thunderstorm 
avoidance mode, I have to remember, when the power comes back on, to enter 
my comm program and tell the thing to turn auto answer off.  I know there
are modems out there that use non-volatile RAM, but this whole bit has
made me a fan of DIP switches to set the major registers.
