These are the external analog modems that I have used for any 
significant duration (none of them are USB):

USR Courier 3367
Zyxel U90E
MultiTech MT5634ZBA-V92
Hayes Accura 336

The USR functioned better than the Zyxel, but I wouldn't recommend 
either of them.  Both the MultiTech and the Hayes worked very well.  The 
MultiTech supported more features.

Curiously, the chipset in the Zyxel was, I believe, a Conexant, which I 
believe was just a later generation of the same Rockwell chipset that is 
in the Hayes.  So either Hayes was doing some needed patching to the 
Rockwell firmware themselves, or Conexant somehow messed things up 
between the two.  Generally I have found Conexant and Rockwell 
chipsetted modems to be reliable, although I'm not surprised to find 
modems with those chipsets that are not.

When I first started using HylaFAX I went through probably a dozen 
internal modems before I settled on an old Rockwell-chipsetted ISA 
modem.  I only hope that we can make your modem-choosing experience less 
troublesome.
