USR modems are broken in many ways.  Their Class 2.0 has lots of bugs, 
and they seem to vary a little bit with different models.  The Class 1 
also has some flaws, but they seem less severe than the ones in Class 2.0.

Generally speaking running Class 1 is recommended over Class 2.0 anyway.

As far as single-port analog modems go I usually recommend the MultiTech 
MT5634 series.

If you don't care about V.34-Fax (SuperG3) then almost any 
Rockwell/Conexant or Lucent/Agere chipsetted modem *should* work quite 
well if Class 1 is supported.

USR modems usually were using TI chipsets in the old days.  These days 
they're using 3Com chipsets which appear to me to function quite 
similarly to those TIs.
