I have an old Prometheus Promodem 1200A and it works just fine with
Kermit.  The only thing I can say about getting an internal modem for a
IIe is that you might want to invest in a cooling fan, too.  My
Prometheus can get quite warm in there and cause weird things to happen
on hot summer nights.  Pretty rare occurrences, though.
