Yes, some brands are more robust than others.  I highly recommend
NEC - I think they make the finest modems available, and the most
fully featured.  They also boast a 5 year parts and labor warranty.

Stay away from US Robotics and Anchor at all costs.

You'll pay a premium for a good modem in any case.  A high quality
commercial grade modem costs twice as much as the cheap plastic
hobbyist variety.

Educational institutions get substantial discounts on NEC modems.
