Banksia make excellent modems (Australian). We use a couple of them here 
and find that they work very well, I also have one of my own,
Myfastmodem 28.8 V34. SOHO series.

There is a new one out with all you need called the wave (or something 
like that.) 

I think the URL for them is http://www.banksia.com.au
