- Both modems are still manufactured. Some of the major differences are
-
- 1. No FLASH ROM
- 2. No NVRAM
- 3. No Distinctive Ring
- 4. No Caller ID
- 5. No Adaptive Answer or Silent Answer+
- 6. No Alphanumeric Display
- 7. No upgrade to 33.6 when it becomes official.
-
- If you can not get the SupraFAXModems locally, get them mail order thru a
- magazine ad. The difference in cost is worth the difference in modem.
-
- Last time I checked, Computability had SupraFAXModems for $199.
-
- Supra's sysop price if you get them directly is $169.
