I believe Lee (who has a larger statistical universe than I from which
to draw) will tell you that you're not going to get to 100.0% with
*anything*, modem or fax machine, even in class 1.

The current model is the 56000ZDX.  I have one at a client's, and we're
breaking (anecdotally; I haven't actually run a spreadsheet) 99%
reliability with it.

It's expensive *for a reason*.

If you buy a cheap modem, well... have fun.  :-}
