My personal favorite keyboard at the moment is dasKeyboard http://daskeyboard.com.
It's not classic but it's a mechanical keyboard with n-key rollover. I've
found that after years of struggling with "rubber dome" keyboards, my typing
speed and accuracy have gone back to where I remember it from years ago. ;-)

i do know the model m also had a phone cable type
connector. i happen to like anything made exclusively by ibm and not by any other company.
The model M keyboard was used on some terminal products as well on that comes to
mind is the 3151 ASCII terminal
and the keyboard connector on it was either RJ11 or RJ45.
You will find that later model M keyboards where made by Lexmark which was the spin off
from IBM of the Lexington Ky plant. It is perhaps fitting they made keyboards, when IBM
was in the electric typewriter business the Lexington plant built all the typewriters for
the US market, and the well loved IBM selectric keyboard became the model for IBM
keyboards including the keyboards used on PC up until the model M.
