I have had experience with a few 2400 baud modems...  I have noticed
that reliable error checking is lost in the cheaper modems but for
the most part it doesn't create a big problem...  Personally I think
Racal-Vadic produces the best modems around but they do get expensive..
Best suggestion to you is get a copy of Computer Shopper put out by

Computer Shopper of Titusville, Inc.
407 S. Washington Ave
Titusville, FL 32796

It usually has very good prices and selection on most computer peripherals

Hope it helped.......
