Write your reply.

assistant: How are the prices for Supra modems doing for the highest speed available
modems? I have seen the prices for the 28.8 ranging between $199-$228,
and am wondering whether higher speed modems are available.
I thought I read somewhere that 31.6 modems were now available but
can't recall where, and am wondering how much has changed since
I last bought my 14.4 over 1 1/2 years ago.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello.  I am having a bit of a problem using the SupraFaxModem 28.8 (Now
upgraded to 33.6) and FreePPP under Open Transport 1.1.  It seems as though
the modem will hang up randomly, then when FreePPP tries to re conect the
modem starts dialing, then disconnects because of the data being sent to it
by Netscape or what ever other TCP/IP program I am using.  Do you know of any
way to make the modem ignore the data being sent to it while it is dialing?
If so, it would be greatly appreceated.
I am using a PowerMac 7600/120 with the port rate set to 115200 bps.
Open transport 1.1
System 7.5.3
FreePPP 1.0.4

I only get 33.6's with one caller. I don't know what the deal with that is...
the town I live in isn't very large, I'd think that I should get 33.6's with
everyone (that can do it of course) in our town....
With s191=126 I do get 31.2's on a more regular basis though.
Hmmm... and I've noticed that I can't set the value of S14 in this latest
version. I was sure I could in the previous versions.

assistant: Hello to Supra Tech support.
I have a 28.8 fax model.
According to the AT+MS? command I have the silent answer and the Silent
Answer Plus features built in.
My quest is to get these features working. I have tried quite a few
combinations. I am using Fax Talk software version 1.50b For Windows.
Can you suggest an init string for the answer modem set up to enable the
silent answer? I tried AT+FAE=4 as the init string for the modem in Fax
Talk but it will now answer unless I chose auto answer after (x) number of
rings which defeats the whole purpose of the modem being able to discriminate
which kind of call is coming in. B.T.W. there is no answering machine on the
line it is for voice or fax/modem only. Thanks for any help you may be able
to provide. Brian.

        still be the old one (or part of it).  Also, the profile
        data structure the modem wakes with may be different than
        the old code.  So you could have told the old code to
        answer on the first ring (S0=1), but in the new code
        that memory location might be used to force 300bps
        carriers.
