When I used modems I always liked USR external... they were (are?) real 
work horses.

I have a Courier V.Everything, but I only use it for logging incoming 
phone calls now (it has caller id capability)

If you want to use it for an answering machine app, check out the voice 
capability of the modem, and you may want to get an internal modem 
instead of external. (But try to avoid the "winmodems"... some of the 
function is performed in software by the host computer.
