The V34 code is about as enhanced as it gets in SupraFAXModems
afaik the V34 group is helping deveolpe the k56flex and v.90 code
this has a much higher priority than a plain v34 modem i'm afraid.
the -26 code has now been moved to the main site at www.diamondmm.com
some have only win95 upgrade programs for the 26 code others have DOS and
binary updates also. I think the pc336 group has obviously updated some of
the flashers now to 26 code. afaik the 26 revision is the same as the 26
beta revision.

Sets country PSTN parameters to the code number specified.
This command returns ERROR on units without NVRAM (ie Express)
You MUST reset (ATZ or power cycle) the modem for change to take occur.

To dumb? Let's review what's gone on here.
Last month I went and looked on the Diamond/Supra web site to find out if the
Express had CID. There was no mention of CID at all, so you'll have to excuse
me for being so damn "dumb" as to turn to the SUPRA FIDO ECHO in an attempt
to find out from someone who may actually use the modem.
Further to the above "dumb action", Craig told me (not even 1 week ago) that
the Express DOES *NOT* support CID. That's all I wanted to know, and that's
all I expected to get for an answer. The last thing I needed was someone who
doesn't even "run a supra" to tell me to check what features my SupraFAXModem
has to determine if the SupraExpress has the feautures I want!
Read that sentence again John. I've been told by you and others to type in a
command on my SupraFAX to find out what features the SupraExpress supports.
Is there a short in someone's logic here or what?
Now who's "more dumb"?!?! Me for asking a question about a Supra modem in the
Supra support echo, or someone telling me I can find out what features a
modem supports by typing a command on a -different- model of modem?!?
As a side note to this whole CID farce, the SupraEXPRESS *DOES* support CID.
Although there was no mention of it last time I checked the Diamond web site,
it's now listed under "New Features".
I'd be interested in knowing where this "FILE" is that tells you everything
you ever wanted to know about Supra modems.... Perhaps you can tell me where
I can get it? I'd be interested in knowing what it says about CID. Or is it
something you just made up to give some sort of support to your above
comment? Considering that you -still- don't state one way or the other if CID
is supported, I'm inclined to believe it's more B.S.....
No that wouldn't work because I do use my head. It's people who can't answer
my questions, but who like to "hear" themselves talk that raise the stupidity
level.

People make benchmarks prove what they want to prove.  One way to do that is
to write an algorithm that is CPU intensive but never used in the real world.
 In addition, if you call any external DLL routines, such as Windows API
functions, you cannot have a valid benchmark.  Furthermore, the level of
machine code that MS Fortran and Borland Delphi generate are assuredly two
very different beasts.
And finally, a benchmark will have different results on different CPUs.
Is Delphi faster than VB?  Most definitely.  By how much?  It depends.
