- Well, according to Supra the only difference is in apperance and
- features. The SupraExpress lacks FlashROM and NVRAM, that being said,
- the performance doesn't seem to be the same. I've heard a really
- disproportionate number of people complaining about quite sertious
- problems with the SupraExpress vs. the SupraFAX. Personnaly, I wouldn't
- trust any modem that doesn't have NVRAM. Even my circa '87 2400 modem had
- NVRAM. If a company is going to be so concerned about costs that they'll
- leave out a little chip, who knows what else they left out..
