- I agree. The Supras are very good modem, and flash rom is always worth
- the extra money, if you have it to spend. Also, with an external modem
- you can use it on other computers. Mine is connected to a switch box so
- all I have to do to switch it from my Warp 4040 A4000 to laptop is to
- turn a switch.
