was also listed.

------
Fax Upgrade: For those that purchased a data only small footprint

If you don't have the small footprint (newer modems) version, they also

I don't actually have this yet but from my understanding Silent answer is
for use with answering machines.  The machine picks up and answers the
phone and the modem listens in.  If the modem detects a FAX tone it then
makes the answering machine hang up and answers the FAX.

    MOTHER of GOD! Perhaps it's just that I've spent a little time reading the
manual, talking to Supra folks who have a life & did my own upgrade. I've even
used GPfax, which is fine for docs, but worthless for pics, but it does work as
claimed. So where's the beef? I bought one of the first 14.4k units & aside from
Telebit headaches, all has worked fairly well.

There seems to be some confusion about the SANA-II standard in that
distribution. SLIP driver included for example refers to two SANA
commands which are not defined by the standard (or include files,
either).
These two commands are (clipped from the file device_funcs.c):

        case S2_ADDSTATIONALIAS:
        case S2_DELSTATIONALIAS:

Would some of you at Amiga Networking group clarify this subject? Are
these some new commands added to the standard, or are they some old
stuff? Anyway, if the supplied binary SLIP driver really is compiled
from source included, it must be some heavy magic :-)

I reported this via email to networking@cbmvax.commodore.com few weeks
ago, but had no answer :-(

From my experiences the problems start when the zmodem protocol wants to
write its buffer to disk. My solution sofar is to make the buffer so big
it can hold the entire file you are downloading. No problems since.
A small buffer also eliminates problems but it was not completely save
the last time I did this.

   I suppose that the built-in serial driver hardware does not support different

I said the same thing once, and was flamed for not knowing about some
piece of software from Europe (NComm?) which did indeed do 1200/75.

My guess is that it sets the port for 1200 baud, and transmits at
75 baud using timed "breaks."  I don't know if it's possible to do this
in a hardware independent manner....  Most probably it hits the hardware
directly.

At the Pasadena World of Commodore show, Lou Eggebrecht (VP of
Engineering at Commodore) gave a talk in which he described the plans
for two new chip sets.  I reported on this in comp.sys.amiga.announce.
You can get the report from the group's ftp archive.  Consult the
introductory postings on the group for more details.

The reporter for last week's Toronto WOC show has also written up a
talk from Lou, and will post the report to the group shortly.  This
one is a bit more concise.

The upcoming report mentions that DSP technology is in the works, but
will be available no sooner than the middle of the year.  This would
give sound on the level of a CD player.

I'm not sure what you're asking.  If you want to read e-mail from
home, you should get a modem, plug it into your Amiga, and dial up the
University's computer.  You might be able to save some money on long
distance calls by using a service called "PC Pursuit."  Go ask in
comp.sys.amiga.datacomm, comp.dcom.modems, and comp.dcom.telecom for
more information about all of this.

A decent modem can be had for $70 (I'll sell you mine!), and the
communications software is free (and even legal) if you know where to
look.

If you're ambitious, your Amiga can be set up as an e-mail site, using
something called UUCP.  Go look in alt.sys.amiga.uucp for more
information about that.

Finally, you should restrict your posts to one topic.  If you have two
topics, post twice.  Of course, by answering you, I've violated this
guideline myself....

Well, for all that, I'd say $700 or 800 was about right. I'd remind you that you
can get a new A500 for $300 from Tenex right now, they are dirt cheap, and they
are 1.3 machines. It's about the same.

As for getting it upgraded, there are a lot of things you can add to make it
better. I have WB 2.0.5 on my A500, plus a SupraDrive 500PX with a 52 meg
Quantum and an additional meg of Ram. That set me back about $450 plus shipping
here in the US of A. Both these addons make a HUGE difference, and I'd really
suggest you get them (2.0 definately, which HD to buy is a debatable one, though
I like mine...) You can get flicker fixers that work for the A500, the Supra and
most other HD cases will let you expand RAM further (mine takes 8). 

In short, sounds like an OK deal to me. Dunno, but I hear things go for more in 
Brittan, so it's hard to say. Hope it works out. I'd REALLY consider at least
getting 2.0 somehow.
