One specific recommendation would be the Aopen FM56-ITU/2, its ISA bus but
on a P120 I'm sure ISA slots aren't a problem. Its a jumpered modem and
therefore works perfect - have one on my FreeBSD / Hylafax box.
They are priced around $70 in Canada, which equates to about US$46. If you
can't find it, let me know.
