- I have a SupraFax 28.8 modem. Supra seems to realease flash ROMs every
- couple of months or so. To be honest, I can't say that any of the flash ROM
- have done anything for me, but I'm still happy that I have the feature.
-
- If anything my favorite feature of the Supra is the LCD window display, with
- it I can tell when a transmission or receive error occurs, what baud rates I
- am sending and receive data at, and what protocols I'm currently using. I see
- that Supra has a new modem called the 'SupraSonic' that has a LCD display with
- all of this information displayed at once, instead of it cycling though
- different displays.
-
- If I had Windows 95 I would be more happy with the flash ROMs, as one of the
- flash ROM updates made my Supra 28.8 support 'Plug and Play'.
-
- How about support for the Amiga 'Fit and Forget' (AutoConfig) technology? :)
