it be a selling factor, but it would also be soooo useful.

Since things change so much, I recommend to people they use LO/HI for speeds
above any 2-digit reference to make sense of over 99Mhz systems in older
cases.
As for the remote modem display, it does makes sense that it should be
offered as an option. I wonder if it'll catch on by some modem maker.

The one in my server's a 3-digit display, to display 0 to 199.
I've programmed it to say words that can be spelled in two/three letters. :)
Anyway, back on the subject at hand....
I mistyped myself, typing "Applied Technology" instead. So two wrongs really
DID make a right. :)
A.E. may well still be viable; as Apple is still manufacturing various
species of Macs - from Classics (just like the original monochromes, but with
higher-powered guts) to high-end speed demons that would give a P166 a run
for its money.
Maybe Supra can subcontract them to manufacture status displays.

assistant: *** Quoting Simon Slater to Robby Dittmann dated 04-01-97 ***
Yes, the SupraFAX modem that I have sitting on my desk is worth something
like $45 if I trade it up for a Supra 56k one.
I think a more likely upgrade option is for me to send in the old 2400bps
internal no-name brand modem collecting dust in the closet for a Hayes 56k
modem. That will cost me a grand total of $99 plus shipping/handling. Then
when the Hayes modem comes in, I can replace my Supra modem with it. Sell the
Supra for $150 or so, and actually come out ahead on the deal. And experience
no down time.
I have no problem paying $50 or perhaps even a $100 (if I can keep my
existing modem until the new one arrives) for an upgrade. But when I'm told
the modem I have is worth less than $50 to upgrade to another modem provided
by the same manufacturer, I have to wonder what's the point.
The 2400bps modem I have is worth over a $100 to a company who never made it
or even sold it to me. Why would my Supra 28.8 be worth 1/2 that amount to
Supra?

Write your reply.

assistant: I was actually thinking of putting the display unit where the CPU clock speed
display would go, thus you would not use up a drive bay you may need later.
A two-character matrix and four tiny LEDs below/above it would have no
trouble fitting in the window provided in most computer cases. A trouble-free
mounting could be as easy as Velcro, since the CPU speed display mountings
vary from case to case, depending on who made it.
