I use a USR Robotics Performance Pro modem. I'm satisfied with it, but it's port 
assignment (the equivalent of COM5; /dev/cuaa4) is kind of odd, though BSD detects it 
during setup and uses PPP with it with no fuss. It also lives on IRQ 9 here; that can 
cause conflicts, at least here where I'm trying to resolve a conflict between it and 
the second built-in USB hub on my computer. Other than that it's a great modem. 

If you have the deskspace and a little extra cash I'd reccomend an external modem - 
they are much less likely to cause a motherboard to fry in the event of a power surge 
and can be used on many architectures as well as being handier to provide instant 
dial-up internet connectivity on another computer when needed.
