Another point that may be important is to make sure that you can
flash the modem in DOS or whatever OS other than in a Win9x environment. It
turns out that Zoom external 56k PC modems require Win9x to be flashed because
the flasher program (FLASH4.EXE) will run only in Win9x. Other than that, the
modems are fine in DOS or whatever. A Courier modem from 3Com can be flashed
by uploading the code via xmodem, so any terminal program in any OS that has
xmodem protocol available can be used to flash a Courier. That's another good
reason to get a Courier, even though it may be more expensive.
