assistant: I recently tried to go to the supra support site, but it pointed me to the
Diamond main site... What is happening? Are we losing the Supra we all know?
I hope not.  It was much more confusing finding the information I needed on
the
Diamond site then it was on the supra site.  I know the two have joined, but
why not make the internet sites simpler by leaving the supra modems and stuff
on www.supra.com.
My two cents worth.

Well, even in a public echo I'm ready to take the embarrasment from all
of us :(.  It turns out that all this time I've had my incoming phone

Upon switching everything is working just fine.  And I deserve all the

assistant: Well I finally managed to get this modem up and running.
It turns out the reason I couldn't get the software
to install was because I had a hard drive that was dying.
I only found this our after many long hours trying to
get things going.
 It set itself up on com3 IRQ 10 even though I turned off
com2 in the bios.
 A couple of questions...
  Fax reception... The Windows FaxTalk Messenger that came
 with the modem works fine but I don't want to be using windows
 all the time.
 I use Terminate in host mode so I can receive faxes and have
 access to my files from a remote location but I can't get the
 fax to work (I had it working perfectly with my Supra 144i)
  I've tried using a setting similiar to the one I used with
 my Supra 144i FaxModem but no luck.
  Was something changed?
  Next...
  Is the SupraExpress 288i PNP capable of being flash upgraded?
 When I log on to my ISP I can connect with no problem
 but after a while (sometimes in just a few minutes)
 I'll start getting errors (the downloading stops)
 and then the next thing I know I'm offline (disconnect)
 this is starting to get a little irritating...
 I'll have 95% of a large file downloaded and then bang...
 I'm disconnected.
 Is there anything I can do to stop this?

(Type it in in a Terminal program, then Use ATZ as your init in FD).
I have my ldfrs set to 20, and the other two Init strings in the FD setup set
up for BGfax.  (I had to write a custom program to decode the Canadian Caller
ID system) But the whole system works perfectly.  I can connect with
vertually every modem that attempts to connect with me.

Write your reply.

assistant: Re: SupraFaxModem 288 externals
I downloaded the new beta Wednesday, and discovered that the bug which
was locking up my modem is a known bug.  It's in the README file that
comes with the beta flash.  If a user hangs up during a retrain, the
modem can lock up.  This is supposedly fixed in a past beta, but is
still in the current production code.
If you're experiencing lockups which leave "RT" on your modem's display,
it may be advisable to try the beta code.
My only gripe with the beta code so far is that it's hard to load!  I
tried it from {Commo} several times.  I tried it from BinkleyTerm
2 times.  Finally, I tried it from DSZ, shelled out from {Commo}.  It
took on the 2nd attempt when I did this.  All previous attempts were
aborted by my terminal program because of NAK errors.

assistant: I also am very disappointed in Supra/Diamond.
The 'VFC' technology was a bust, and the following support also
is a fluke.  VFC was tooted as 'the next standard', and was soon
swallowed up, and spit out.  We currently have purchased a USR
v.Everything, and have had nothing but cheers for it. Also just for
the hell of it, we called thier support number, and it was awesome.
So with this message, we are taking our Supra offline, and firing up
our lines with our new USR's. - We are also removing ourselves from
this echo.
Cheers!, and Good luck in the future.

customer service with ALL
This type of service to US customers only serves to increase the
frustration we in Europe experience.
You are fortunate in that you are dealing with the real SUPRA folk. We
in the UK have to deal with DIAMOND people who know little and care less
about modems, their main concern being Video cards.
When I last spoke to Diamond UK support, they indicated that there was
no upgrade available for the foreseeable future, let alone a sysop
upgrade.
I can understand your appreciation of the support you are getting. Too
bad it is so geographically limited.

Write your reply.

assistant: I have a 14.4 with ROM V1.80-05 TR14-Jxxx-001 191
I was having the same problems where the modem was ignoring commands.  They
were most noticably dial commands where BinkleyTerm (or Telix before I got
into bbsing) would think it was dialing but the modem would just read "OK".
Tech support told me I was probably typing the command wrong, or not pressing
return, but told me to send the modem in anyway.  The modem came back (after
almost two months) with no change in its operation.
Unlike yours, my modem does not intercept the CID data flawlessly.  After a
"warmup" period after power-on, the modem will start to stay off-hook too
long in it's attempt to get the CID info.  No data will be returned and if
the off-hook pause is long enough, the incoming call is lost.  These two
problems (over four years of operation) are whats keeping me from upgrading
to a new Supra 28.8.

assistant: Hi Patrick !
Here is description of 2 problems I've encountered with the new 1.440-18
- It seems that sometimes, the connection goes weird. All I receive is OK
but I only send garbage. The modem then suddenly drop to 300 (transmit
speed as far as I can remember), and finally hang up. (this one seems to
happen only with french Olitec modems).
- During the negociation process, the modem doesn't seem to catch the
remote carrier. It keep on whistling until S7 is reached. It is a
monotonous sound with no modulation. It happened with two different brand
of modem : USR courrier and OLITEC (French 'so-called' modem)
As far as I can see, there are some other people reporting problem #1 & #2.
Is there a workaround or some registers to set in order to solve the
problems ?

assistant: I think Supra was bought by Dimond, but if it's true, I have a few
things which I don't like about it. Here they go:
1) Dimond has a TERRIBLE tech support and hardware support! A friend of mine
payed an arm and a leg for his Dell computer a few years back, and it came
with "the best video card in the world" back then. It was a VIPER VL-BUS
video card.  Dimond was the maker, and now they don't even have win95 drivers
for it, and say they won't!
2) The www.supra.com page might be gone, but when you go to the supra
section, it jumps back to www.supra.com/whatever directory! What gives!?
3) What happened to Beta flashers on the web/ftp site? I guess Dimond thinks
they're good enough without the users. BIG MISTAKE!
Thats my $0.02...
