I needed to free up a pci slot so I got an external
Diamond Supra 56k.  They have models which conncect
via USB or serial.  I have the latter and it connects
at 115.2k!  Got it on eBay at around $20 brand new.

I have read that US Robotics is the best, but I have
been very satisfied with this for almost a year now.
