I hear excellent things about the MultiTech modems, although I've only
personally installed one for use with HF.  I had a small problem; they
had tech support people who actually knew that Linux and HF existed,
and helped me get it fixed promptly.

The MT5634ZDX was the model I used, it was about $190 or so, external.
