I not only second Jerry.  I recommend the the V.3400 highly.  Buy it,
load the factory option set 9 from the front panel and you are set. 
However, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy the V.34R (nearly same price but
V.34R cannot be configured from the front panel).  The V.3400 from
Motorola UDS is very robust and inexpensive (around $300) (hey for
synchronous communications you cant do any better.)
