A couple:
 
3Com 56K external (non-USB)
3Com Internet Gaming Modem (PCI, and a hardware modem! Only pci modem that I know of that is ALL hardware, no winmodem/software modem here!)
3Com V.Everything Courier modem.
 
Those are the best ones I know of. Some of the Diamond modems might be worth a look at too.

OP
Thanks man, That Couriur is EXPENSIVE! I'd love to get one, but I can't afford it.
 
I'll probably end up choosing between the other two, based partially on price.
Thanks
Anyone else got any input?

Zoom PCI internal modems are also very good - I've got one in each of my machines and they run absolutely troble free with good high speed connections (50.6K on a good day!)
