  15. Same here.  After weeks of trying (and returning) cheaper modems and wasting lots of time, I 
  16. purchased a SupraFAXmodem 28.8i PnP and it works -beautifully-.  Config is Compaq Presario with 
  17. all but two IRQs in use, including one by a 14.4 Compaq modem that handles the voice and fax side 
  18. of things.
  19.  
  20. The Supra modem was detected and configured automagically by Windows 95/PnP as IRQ 15 and COM3 
  21. (which is exactly what I wanted), and it's worked perfectly.  I get 28.8 most of the time, 26.4 
  22. the rest of the time.  Total setup time: 10 minutes.
  23.  
  24. The previous attempts at this configuration, using Zoom and Microcom modems, ended in abject 
  25. failure.
