Any modem should work on a IIc, though I have heard of some problems with 
high-speed ones, and the IIc can't hardware handshake (I think).  You can 
get 2400 modem pretty cheap these days (I have one for sale).  The only 
software to consider is ProTerm. Latest is 3.1.

BTW, if your IIc is the original one, you will probably need to get the 
free motherboard upgrade by Apple to use 2400 baud modems and 3.5 disk 
drives (UniDisk only).  To find out if you need the upgrade, get into 
BASIC and type "PRINT PEEK(64447)" and return.  If you get 255, you need 
the upgrade.
