I've bought a number of the Practical Peripherals 14400 FXSA modems (14,400
data, 9600 (?) fax) for $400 and have been quite happy with them. On the
data side, they hook up to everything that I've thrown at them and they
are one of the most informative modems I've used. I drive them at 38,400
for SLIP and they're great. (They have a max rate of 57,600)

The fax side is useless for the NeXT as it's interface is class 1 instead
of the, still in draft, class 2. I've used the fax side on a PC and it
works though the (free) software that's supplied isn't very good.
