Best modem for OS/2?

My office runs OS/2 and Lotus Notes 4.1 (if it ain't broke ...). The hard drive on my server died and I ended up getting a new box.

Formerly, my server had 2 ISA modems: one for regular use as a fax/modem, and one "owned" by Lotus Notes.

The ISA modems won't work in my PCI-only new box, so I need to get 2 modems to be used as before. What is the best choice?

hardware?

I use the Actiontec PCI Call Waiting Modem. It is one of the very few mass market hardware items that not only supports OS/2 (and LINUX, even good old DOS) right out of the box, it proudly says so on the box art instead of the fine print on the back. I use the ATT Global dialer, the successor to the original Bonus Pac dialer for the Advantix ISP that now is owned by ATT. The modem list does not specifically mention Actiontec modems, but the generic 56K version "A" works fine. The Actiontec modems can be found at Micro Center, some CompUSA locations, and their own web site www.actiontec.com. The hardware based Call Waiting feature is a nice bonus, too.
