I'm in the process of buying a 14.4K internal modem and need some guidance.
The brands I have had recommended include Intel, USR, Complete Comp,
Practical Comp, MACS, and Boca.  Excuse misspellings because all of these
have been phone discussions.  Price is an object but it doesn't outweigh
reliability.  A FAX feature is desirable but not a must if the price is
right.  The best price I found was on a Boca 14.4K FAX modem but one
source told me they do not run reliably at 14.4K because they lack a
UART, and one can't be added.

Any and all recommendations, insights, and horror stories will be
appreciated.  Please get technical about various features, problems,
etc.  Please e-mail.

Thanks in advance
