- Hi!
-
- I saw an external V.34 28.8 FaxModem for the Mac at Creative Computers for
- $129.99. The sales rep claims it's the exact same modem as The
- SupraExpress 28.8, but just by a different manufacturer with a different
- label, and hence the low price.
-
- However, upon getting permission from the sales rep to open the packaging
- for inspection, I noticed that it has NO labeling whatsoever that would
- tell me who the manufacturer is. There isn't even a product registration
- card! I checked the manuals, same thing. No manufacturer name, no
- telephone number, no address, no nothing!
-
- So now, I am deciding between the SupraExpress 28.8 or this no-name (literally)
- modem. While the Supra sports a 5-year warranty, the no-name one has only
- a one-year warranty, according to the sales rep. However, I did not find
- this stated anywhere in the documentation.
-
- Does anyone have any experience with this no-name modem or the
- SupraExpress? Any insights would be much appreciated.
-
- I am NOT subscribed to this group. So reply by E-mail would be best.
- Thanks very much in advance!
