I have the Actiontec internal pci call-waiting modem.  It's one of the few
pci hardware controlled modems around.  The call-waiting bit is nice,
especially if you've only got one phone line.  No missed calls.  Also can
serve as an answering machine with message boxes:  "If you're a
telemarketer, press "'one".  Your call will be answered in four days, six
hours...."  Last week this modem was on sale at BestBuy for $80 after
rebate.
