I haven't done business with Midwest Micro, but I'm transmitting this
reply over a Zoom V.32.bis FAX Modem which works terrific and only cost
me $299 (with Mac software and cable) from MacConnection.  A colleague
told me today that the PC version (PC Connection) is $289 (external).

I second the recommendations for Mac/PC Connection.  One thing others
did not mention is that for a measly $3 extra you can get overnight
delivery (I ordered the Zoom a 9pm one evening and got it from Federal
Express a 3p the next afternoon... not bad).  It's true that
MacConnection (and presumably the PC counterpart) isn't always the
lowest price (I've been known to buy from one or two other vendors :)
but they've never been much out of line on things I've wanted and they
also have a 30 day money back guarantee on most products (including a
lot of, but not all, software).
