Oh yes US Robotics modems were some of the first consumer modems to get data throughput above 9600 bits per second.

They also created a weird but very interesting computer designed by some guy named Jeff Hawkins.

Which, come to think of it, is my pick for Interesting Computer.

Very fun to program, a couple of extensions to turn the Notepad into a Wiki (we would call it a Zettlekasten now, I suppose). The initial API was very much like Macintosh C programming.

I remember when US Robotics sent out a buncha 56K modems for a dime to 33.6K modem owners. Loved US Robotics before that, but loved 'em even more after that. :)
