I bought a socket 56k modem (used) cheap on ebay. It was easy to set up and works great. The socket will step down from 56k if you're on a lousy phone line; I don't think all modems do. You might want to check that before you buy, if you have noisy lines (or might be in hotels or whatever that do).
To answer your question, the modem works fine. Plus, the miserable slowness of PIE is easier to take knowing you're on dialup!
