I have no preferred V.34 data/fax/voice modem.

IIRC (will have to run some tests with it...), the ELSA 28.8 TQV modem 
is quite good, just a little sensitive to bad lines in data mode.

Some people say the ZyXEL 2864(I) series is already stable enough. I
cannot second this -- my 2864 is not. My 2864I is quite stable, though.

Has somebody else a recommendation for a good V.34 fax/data/voice 
modem? A modem where really everything will just work, without hassles?
