USR 2976 is a good oem modem available from www.krex.com
for $66 plus s&h. (However, you get no usr support.)

Also, consider an external modem.  I, personally, do not own
one, but many pcbuilders have sung their praises in the past.
Perhaps even a usb modem.  Krex lists one for $65.

www.pricewatch.com  can show USA sources and prices.

When I started building PC I used more expensive modems like Zoom. Then I picked up
3 modems from ubid for $9 apiece. They were boxed under different brand names but
made by Motorola. They work like a champ and have never given me any problems. They are a little tricky to install. You have to browse the disk to find the path to install. I see them on price watch for $9 plus shipping. They are PCI 56K voice fax modem, V 90 standard. I think the V 92 standard isn't use very much by ISP yet, so right now V 90
standard modems prevail.
