subject: modems for a BBS

I've just upgraded my BBS... Got another few lines in, but now I need modems
for those lines...  Thats where hopefully someone out there can lend some
advice...

I'm not rich  :)  So I can't go out and get top of the range, what I'm after
is modems around $200-$300 (or less). 33600
And from the advice from other sysops, I should only get External.

What I'd like to know is, can anyone recommend good modems around that
price, that would suit my needs....   I have the prices of plenty of modems
ranging from $155 up to $999, but I would really have a clue how they
actually perform...  The KTX brand seems to be the cheapest starting at
around $155, then the dynalink, lightspeed etc.
Are any of those cheaply priced modems any good? I payed over $300 for a
Netcomm Roadster about 10 months ago, and thats had non stop problems... And
now I see all teh modem reviews paying that modem out big time... Most users
connect at 24000 with that modem... rarely 28.8k and never 33.6k :(
So don't bother recommending that modem to me :)

Also I've heard good things about Spirits, they start from about $300+

Thanks to anyone that can help me out in this desprite situation!
