I use a USR Robotics Performance Pro modem. I'm satisfied with it, but it's port assignment (the equivalent of COM5; /dev/cuaa4) is kind of odd, though BSD detects it during setup and uses PPP with it with no fuss. It also lives on IRQ 9 here; that can cause conflicts, at least here where I'm trying to resolve a conflict between it and the second built-in USB hub on my computer. Other than that it's a great modem. If you have the deskspace and a little extra cash I'd reccomend an external modem - they are much less likely to cause a motherboard to fry in the event of a power surge and can be used on many architectures as well as being handier to provide instant dial-up internet connectivity on another computer when needed.
