BMUG, in their latest newsletter, recommends the US Robotics Courier
2400 baud modem. Cheapest price at $139 (check Computer Shopper), not
including cable. Similar pricing and recommendation for the Supra
modem, although in my opinion the USR is much better. Supra goes for
$129 at one place: Computer Mart, 800-443-8236. $15 extra for a cable.

Both are Hayes-compatible to the limits of compatibility. I recommend
going elsewhere for a cable.
