Well, for the most-part, any Class 1 modem will be nearly fine - 
especially if you can put together the config file yourself.  Class 2 
is another story altogether.  The exception to this rule are USR modems 
in Class 1 (occasional firmware freezes with new models) or Class 2 
(flawed protocol) and Digi modems in Class 1 (flawed protocol, their 
Class 2/2.0 seems fine).

However, if you do run into a firmware problem, it pays to have a 
manufacturer who supports their hardware.  And, the only single-line 
analog modem manufacturer that I know of that does... is MultiTech... 
plus MultiTech's Class 2/2.0/2.1 feature-set (MMR, RTFCC, and V.34) is 
nice to have.
