For what it's worth, I use a Packard Bell 2400, bought it at a catalog
showroom for around $150. Works well, no problems running Red Ryder 10.3
or MicroPhone II. I'm not doing anything fancy with it, though. The only
problem I have with it is that it puts its register settings into a RAM
which is volatile. When the power goes off or when I go into thunderstorm
avoidance mode, I have to remember, when the power comes back on, to enter
my comm program and tell the thing to turn auto answer off. I know there
are modems out there that use non-volatile RAM, but this whole bit has
made me a fan of DIP switches to set the major registers.
