- Out of those 3 modems, I'd say the Supra is MUCH better than the other 2.
- The ARA scripts for it are available at Supra's web/ftp site. I have used
- them and they work great. A lot of the provided scripts for other modems
- disable error correction and other stuff that would slow you down - the
- first thing I usually do with an ARA script is modify it to make it work
- better, but with the supra, it wasn't necessary. Global Village also has
- good ARA scripts, but I'd have to agree that their modems are not
- reliable. From what I've seen ,the Supra also has better compatibility
- with other v.34 modems than the USR.
