I really can't comment on reliability as I haven't received it yet, but last
week I ordered a Migent Pocket Modem and paid only $99 plus sh/hand.  Take a
look in a recent issue of PC-Week or PC Magazine for the ad.  It's smaller
than a 3x5 card, runs on a 9-volt battery or AC, does 300/1200 baud, and is
fully Hayes compatible.  It's supposed to plug directly into a PC's 25 pin
serial port, so you'll need a short cable to plug it into a Mac.

I ordered it from Warehouse Data Products in Arizona.  You can find their
800 number in any PC-related magazine.  I've ordered from them before
and they're very cooperative and friendly.

Standard disclaimer:  I don't have any connections with any money-making
organization... yet.
