      I missed the original posting but if your looking for a cheap
   but full feature Hayes 2400 compatable, I'd recommend the Intel 24EX
   (there is also a cheaper internal version that I am not familiar with).
      Including tax, mine cost a few cents under $200, that's about 40%
    the cost of a genuine Hayes external.  I just got this modem yesterday
    and it appears to be 100% Hayes compatiable and came with two disk; one
    a diagnostics disk, the other containing some sort of communications
    software by MagicSoft Inc.  The disk are intended for use with MS-DOS
    (but not OS/2) and I've not looked at them.
       The Intel 24 contains non-volital ram (many cheap compatiables do
     not), all Hayes type S registers with same ranges and defaults. To
     get this guy running, all I did was to physically swap it with
     the genuine Hayes I had been using.

I don't work for Intel, own any of its stock or have any other type of
interest in them.
