A used on seems to be the best choice these days.
Be carefull about ELSA/devolo modems, they had been using a fine
working Lucent chipset, but now are using an STM softmodem one.
They didn't change the product name.
USR/3Com is also bad these day, they have a new softmodem modell now.
Maybe Multitech is a choice - never tried them.
If you find one please let me know, I personally gave it up.
