It is/was a damn fine modem, but just can't be purchased anymore by mere

assistant: Hi Hans
I hope you get this message....we are having trouble with our mail at the
moment...anyway...
Phoned Supra and was told the SupraFAXmodem and SupraSonic was not being made
anymore....
Phoned Supercom, (they are listed as a dealer for Supra on the Web) he had a
SupraFaxModem so we ordered it. They sent a Express (i)
so it went back...
Phoned Diamond.. They say they are still making both modems, but only had 1
in stock, it's a SupraFaxModem.
I think I'm going to wait to see what happens, or until these people get it
together.
Thanks for your help and the other people that took the time to help me.

another brand.  Several of the dealers told me that the product was no longer

Not so bad...
But if my modem shifts up from a 31.2 connect to a 33.6... it's because the
line will support it.
I'm not complaining about poor connections. I'm complaining about poor
performance on 33.6 connects. If my modem connects at 33.6, it should be safe
to assume that the line conditions are good enough to allow that speed.
