- I have used just about all four of your choices. Supra is a decent modem. Their
- technical support is good. Motorola modems are even better. They are a little more
- expensive, but worth the extra money. I used to use the Motorola UDS FASTALK II. I have
- had a lot of trouble with Hayes and USR products. Every Hayes modem we had either kept
- disconnceting, wouldn't connect, would connect at a low speed, or just plain failed
- completely. I have heard nightmeres from my friends about USR sportsters.
-
- I just upgraded my modem to a Multitech 28.8 ZDX. This modem performs very well, like
- all Multitech modems. I have been installing Multitech modems for years and have always
- had good experiences with them. They even have an "800" number technical support, which
- you don't have to wait a year to talk to somebody. Their modems are USA made and use the
- AT&T chipset. They come with both fax and communications software and are pretty easy to
- set up. I got mine from Software Solutions for about $170.00. Their number is
- (212)608-9595.

- Hope this helps!
