Supra Breaks Price Barrier With
Powerful SupraFAXModems
14,400 bps Fax and Data (V.32bis) Modem for only $399
ALBANY, OR, January 1992 - A wide range of features - fax, data, voice,
caller ID, unique status display, small case, and very attractive price
- all combine to make the new SupraFAXModem(tm) family of modems from
Supra Corporation an intriguing new opportunity for computer users. The
SupraFAXModem(tm) V.32bis features 14,400 bps fax and data for $399.95
retail, and the SupraFAXModem V.3at ures 9600 bps fax and data for
$299.95 retail.
On the fax side, both modems feature Class 1 and 2 commands,
compatibility with Group 3 fax machines, and the ability to send and
receive faxes directly from the computer. On the data side, both modems
support communication at speeds ranging from 300 bps to 14,400 bps (9600
bps for the SupraFAXModem V.32), plus they also support CCITT V.42bis,
MNP 2-5, and MNP 10 data compression and error correction protocols.
When using V.42bis (4:1 compression), the SupraFAXModem V.32bis provides
up to 57,600 bps throughput, and the SupraFAXModem V.32, up to 38,400
bps throughput.
Both modems also feature a revolutionary status display, which allows
for an unlimited number of status messages. In a display that looks
similar to a digital clock, the modems presently give the user up to 25
different messages, conveying things like connection rate and type (FX),
dialing (DI), ringing (RI), and transmission error (TE). This display
is a great advantage compared with most other modems, whose finite
number of indicator lights limit how much information they can convey to
the user.
All of these features are packed into a case about the size of two decks
of playing cards placed side by side (1" x 4.5" x 6.5") - a case that is
half the size of many other V.32 and V.32bis modems.
All that's needed to use an external SupraModem is a computer (or
terminal) with an RS-232C interface, communications software, and a
cable to connect the modem to the computer. Everything else is
included: the modem, operator's manual, quick-reference card, power
adapter, and telephone cable.
Voice & Caller ID
SupraFAXModems also support two important features - voice and caller ID
-that can be enabled through low-cost, user-installable firmware
upgrades available mid-1992.
The voice feature allows the modems to send and receive digitized voice
and implement several voice functions. The modems can compress and
uncompress voice data for efficient storage, generate and recognize
touch tones, and sample at various frequencies, depending on the quality
level desired. This feature will be useful for interactive applications
such as voice mail, answering machines, and digital announcers.
Caller ID (where available) allows the number from which an incoming
call was dialed to be displayed on the user's screen before the call is
answered. This will be useful for secure communications, automatic
identification of incoming calls, and interactive voice applications.
Innovation & Chip Sets Combine For Killer Pricing At $299.95 and $399.95
retail, respectively, the SupraFAXModem V.32 and SupraFAXModem V.32bis
are about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of similar modems. Supra is able to offer
these prices because of innovative designs and state-of-the-art chip
sets from Rockwell International. "We are very excited about the power
we're putting into our customers' hands, and the outstanding quality we
are able to deliver at these very affordable prices," said John Wiley,
President of Supra Corporation.
In addition to the stand-alone modems, packages that include cables and
software will be available for IBM PC and Macintosh computers. IBM PC
internal models will also be available.
About Supra Corporation Supra Corporation, based in Albany, Oregon, has
been providing personal computer users with high-quality, low-cost
peripherals since 1985. The SupraFAXModems (including the previously
announced 9600 bps fax/2400 bps data SupraFAXModem Plus) are the latest
additions to the popular SupraModem(tm) family.
Since the original SupraModem 2400 was introduced in 1987, SupraModems
have been popular among consumers looking for excellent value in a
reliable modem, and have been recommended by a variety of sour, from
respected PC Magazine and MacUser columnist John C. Dvorak to the
Berkeley Macintosh User's Group (BMUG). In addition to manufacturing a
complete line of fax and data modems, Supra makes a variety of
peripherals for Commodore Amiga computers.
