- Does anybody know what the new feature(s) in the Supra ROM update will
- be? Will the modem be able to recognize voice calls in auto answer
- mode? Will they send me tyhe update automatically (I've sent the
- registration card) or do I have to order it and pay something?
-
- Otherwise I've been happy with my Supra V.32bis. I've only had some
- occasional problems in breaking the connection.
-
- PS. Somebody asked about a cheap place to buy a Supra. The best offer
- I've seen yet was from Computabily WI USA tel 414 357-8181
- fax 414 357-7814
- $309
-
- If anyone has a better offer, please let me know.
