Hi Steven,
A couple of weeks ago I had a problem with callers to my BBS getting all
kinds of crc errors.  I can't be sure I got the +A8M code you got, but I too,
tried swapping phone lines, cables, and tried powering the modem off and on
and nothing helped.  I've got 2 external Supras with the same Flash 25 codes
and only my line 1 modem went goofy on me like that.
Solution: Flash the modem with the Flash 26 code again or check the Supra
site to see if there is a new update or beta flash code available.  I
reflashed mine with the Flash 26 code and it solved my crc errors...for the
time being.

assistant: External software drivers are not at all requisite when using the modem
in DOS or Windows 3.1, and Windows95 couples its own drivers.
Many of the programs that are bundled with modems are surpassed with

Write your reply.

assistant: Couple of things:
The Supra BBS used to have a Serial Number lookup tool and a way to register
modems online... Is that no longer there or am I blind?
Next, the latest beta release of the flash ROM for the V34 SupraFax External
on the Supra BBS that is LhArced... The archive is corrupt.  The zip file
tests & extracts fine.
What are the ati93 and 94 displays for?
I know the i93 one has been in Supra modems for a long time......
What is at%? supposed to tell us?
I know that people probably have asked these a million times, but I have
never seen 'em posted...
And last but not least; I bought a used external SupraFAX modem that was VFC
at the time I bought it, and I upgraded it to V34...
Well, When I got the modem, it had several things listed in it's ati10
'features' list that it no longer has...  I don't know exactly when they
disappeared exactly, or what they actually were listed as, just that they are
no longer there...
One was something like "DSP" something... I can't remember, but I think it
had something to do with voice support, not that I would ever use it, and not
that there is software to use for the Amiga out there...  I was just
wondering if maybe it had been voice capable and if I used the wrong flasher
or something on it?
A friend of mine said that if it had a mic input on the back of it, then it
was, and sure enough it does have the actual jack on the back (and my newest
33.6 Supra does NOT have that, and was not sold as Data/Fax/Voice), but he
also said that he thought that the flasher would check the capabilities of
the modem and enable anything that hardware was found for, even if there had
been some bug in the earlier flasher that had disabled it.
Makes sense to me, but I thought I would ask!

assistant: ati93 is a small memorial to a Supra engineer who passed away due to cancer
in 1993.
None of the supraFAXmodems ever suported voice, even though the hardware was
designed to handle it, should the chips be upgraded to it... the only good
supra modem that suports voice is the SupraSONIC.

Write your reply.

assistant: Drivers are needed only under a 32-bit operating system.  In DOS/Windows 3.1,
the modem communicates directly with the rest of the hardware.
The software that came with the modem was FaxTalk and DOSFax/WINFAX.  One was
for receiving faxes (FaxTalk), and the other was for sending them. These are
copyrighted programs, not available for free.  Personally, I recommend
QuickLink Fax from SmithMicro if you have to buy the fax software.
No Windows 3.1 drivers were bundled with it, as none are needed.  OS/2
recognizes the modem upon installation of OS/2, and will also allow you to
install the modem and update the installed drivers if you already had OS/2
installed first.  Linux has special considerations, but the man pages should
help you get started in the right direction.
