What do people use for dialup modems

We have a fair amount of success with the USRobotics Courier HST modem.
It took a little bit if internal modem configuration trial and error, but
as of late everyone is happy.  We dial both in and out at 1200, 2400 and
to its matching partner at 9600 baud over normal lines.  

The only complaint that I have is when we are using kermit at 9600 the
effective throughput is a dismal 1200 baud.  Apprently it has somethig to
do with the short packet length of a kermit packet and the modem trying to
do data compression/error correction along with kermit.  Tip and other
plain ascii programs (xtalk on the PC) work great and its sometimes hard
to relize that you are talking over a modem.
