assistant: I believe it is some kind of diagnostic mode which was supposed to have been
done away with when the production ROM code was released - but somebody
"forgot" to remove or disable this block of code.
So, under certain (and from my  knowledge, unknown) conditions, the modem
will somehow access this diagnostics or development program remnant and start
spitting out B TRIGGERED when carrier is present.
Power-cycling the modem terminates this rogue program and stops B TRIGGERED
right then and there.

assistant: I have several spare modems for sale.  Amongst them, I have a spare 33.6k
SupraFAXModem.  This modem is in very good condition.  It supports all baud
rates between 300 and 33,600bps.  It is a Class 2 FAX Modem and supports
14.4k FAX transmissions.  It will work with any BBS (i.e. it works just fine
with both Trapdoor and GPFax).  I'm asking $85 + $5 postage.  If interested,
please contact me at the address listed below.

What's the problem?
What version of NT are you using? I don't think that NT supports PnP yet...
so if the SupraExpress is a PnP modem, you'll have to configure it manually.

Can anyone tell me what the Diamond SupraExpress modems have in comparison to

internet which is selling the SupraExpress 56k (with voice) for less than the
"sysop deal", and it's in Canadian funds to boot.
Caller ID and the ability to distinguish between a fax/data caller are at the
top of my list of requirements. Does the SupraExpress do both?
Maybe someone can post the results of an ATI10, assuming it still supports
it, from a 56k Express model?

I believe it's been replaced by the SupraSonic.  As for whether it's on the

Yes Steven, my phone company supports caller ID and I have it turned on my
BBS line.
My comment above was in reference to someone typing in AT #CID on their
SupraExpress and getting an error code in response back. They (and myself
personally) were not sure if the express supports caller ID. I know my
SupraFAX DEFINITELY supports caller ID and "I too get an error response". So
typing in that command isn't a good indication as to if the modem DOES or
DOES NOT support caller ID.
