to fit on a tiny Palmtop computer, and powerful enough to send hundreds of
faxes per day.  It is the only fax program that comes with a DOS, OS/2,
and Win32 (95/NT) version in the same package.  Development started in 1993.

Our answers are different but the results are the same. Only the Express can
be found. I was going to bye a Supra for my second modem, because they were
good modems. I think I will stay with USR's. I don't need the head aches of
low end modems. With 3Com taking over USR I hope things don't go down hill as

I have a USR Courier v.E and a SFM.  They work rather well together.  My
BBS uses the SFM.  My state host for ITCNet has a Courier, and I often
connect at 28.8 to him with the SFM.  I often notice that a Rockwell
technology modem will connect to another Rockwell at 1 speed higher than
Rockwell > USR.  I wouldn't call this behaviour "hate" though.
What model USR are you referring to?

There seems to be a small problem here. If Diamond doesn't have them and the
wholesalers don't have them. Then where does the stores get them ? Does the
store you are getting them from have old stock? How long ago did you get
yours?
Something to think about...what happens if we have to get it fixed or
replaced? Who is going to write your next upgrade? Are you going to be able
to upgrade to 57.6? What do you think it is going to cost to order retail
from the states and have it shipped?

phone numbers, or you if it gives you a second dial tone, there is a dial
command that makes the modem listen for a second dial tone before it

Hello Warren,
Yup, but _only_ as long as the line conditions remain constant..
Its _ALL_ dependant on how _long_ the line remains _stable_ and that can
vary a lot, I've not got a 33k6 modem only a 14k4, but if I enable fall
forward connects, I can find on some calls quite a bit of retraining due
to the line having *random* noise on it, might be twice a call, might be
20 times a call.. or it might be damm near every second:-(

Of course that goes without saying. if the line didn't support it it would
have shifted up:)) though it shifts up because the line conditions have
improved. Retraining works on the line quality ONLY.
Again you said.. if you get a 33600 connect this doesn't meen to say you
connect speed is going to stay at that connection speed. RETRAIN makes that
choice.  %E0 will turn off retraining though you may get (sometimes worse
connections.
