I'm in the market for an internal, hayes compatible modem switchable
between 1200 & 2400 (and possibly 300) for my at-compatible.  The only
one I've seen so far that fits the bill is an Everex 24 for $115.
What others to look at

I'd look at Zoom modems. They are quite reasonalby priced, and seem
to work fine (at least my external modem does).

	We had bought 4 zoom modems to use as unix dialin/dialout modems.
after noticing the lack of non volatile memory to save configuration, and
terrible overheating, rendering them unusuable after a few hours of operation
(the smell of melting plastic was scaring..), they got exchanged for GVC's.

My ZOOM modem _does_ have non-volatile memory to save configurations.
I've never used it (although I think I might try to save a register or two,such
warm, but never any melting plastic (but I haven't used it for several
hours at a time, either.)
