- Yes, I've had experience with both. I've used the Supra at home and have
- set up both modems on a dialup for an ISP. Only good experiences with
- the Supras, and lots of problems with USR's, both Couriers and 2
- different Sportster models. USR's as a rule are also the only modems
- that have problems connecting to our dialup, whether they connect to a
- Practical Peripherals or a Supra. I have even seen two identical
- sportsters having trouble connecting to each other several times, but
- they connect to each other much more easily than to other modems.

- I haven't used the Supra Express model though, and have heard of problems
- with Supra Expresses with old firmware, so I'd get the non-express model
- that you can flash-rom upgrade.
