If you explore the modem related info there, it's believed that any
hardware modem built around a USR or Texas Instruments chipset are the
best. You needn't have to buy an external modem. They cost more and
what with cable and all, take up space. Plus they deprive you of one of
your serial ports. I have a cheap (actually it was free, very old) ISA
Phoebe (basically a USR clone) built on a TI chipset that's
bulletproof.
There's also recommended PCI internal modems at:
http://www.kcdata.com/~gromitkc/winmodem.html (about half way down
the page). Many are USR or TI chipsets, and begin at < $40.
