assistant: Hi JOHN,
 Am Sep 21 07:03 96 meinte JOHN WEISS (1:343/210):
The "Problem" is not the modem, i think.
To BBSs you usually transfer with Z-Modem or a similar Protocol, and the
file is localy available at the remote site.
If you use an Internet Account, there is some Protocol-Overhead (SLIP/PPP)
that reduces effective transferspeed. furthermore if you FTP files from the
Net, most often there is a bottleneck between your provider and the
ftp-site.

I never nedded support, but one other thing I worry about.
Here in Austria only the German-Model (BZT approved with limitation on
dialing) is avialable. The Express ones are also in the stores, but as for me
i wont call such crap "modem" at all.
I am very satisfied with my 288i US-model which i bought some time ago when
only the US-versions of Supras were available here. Nowadays you cannot buy
one anywhere. I am also waiting for the SupraSonic to be available here :-(
