- Supra 28.8 modems do use a Rockwell chip set, but Supra had done extensive
- modifications to the firmware, adding such features as split recieve/tx speeds,
- caller ID, and numerous other features. It is not appropriate to lump Supra (the
- best Rockwell-based modem in my opinion) in with the likes of Zoom.
