[comp.sys.mac] Request for modem recommendations

  I am planning to purchase an external modem for a Mac IIci, and I'm not
sure how to go about selecting one. I want it to be capable of 300/1200/2400
bps send/receive and be Hayes compatible. Features I would expect include
auto answer/originate, pass-through phone jack, and speaker. Is there a great
difference in quality and/or performance among various brands, or should I
simply look for the lowest price? Sometimes software (e.g. Microphone) is
sold with the modem as part of a package. Are there any particularly good deals
here? Does anyone have any experiences with the Zoom modem? Why are Hayes'
so expensive?
