- There is no reason that is should harm the modem. Every modem that I

- strong as -9dBm.
- FWIW: You can now download a file from the Supra BBS detailing how to
- connect two Supras back to back. It should work on most standard
- modems. You can call Supra's BBS @ 503 967-2444. The area code will
- change sometime but I don't think it's imminent.
