- I need to upgrade to a 28.8 modem (Macintosh) for home and am looking for
- advice. I have a supraFAXmodem 288 at work and it works well and this was
- what I was going to buy. I've been out of this modem group for a while
- and am out of touch to what is currently available. Last time I was here,
- US Robotic Sportsters were problematic. Now I see they're up to 33.6 and
- Supra has a new one out called SupraSonic.
-
- I need a good dependable FAX modem, I like the display on the Supra 288
- showing the speed but am open to suggestions. I found a place which has
- US Robotics 33.6Kbps v.34+ modems at a very good price.
-
- Any recommendations on a puchase (cost is a consideration)? Also are
- their any major flaws in the current batch of modems (thinking back to the
- first batch of 28.8 Sportsters)?
-
- Thanks
-
- Ken
