- Well, a friend & I both have the SupraFAXModem 14.4 modems, and so far we
- havn't had much trouble connecting with each other. The only problems we do
- have is with file transfers, but I think that's more a problem with the comm
- program, NOT the modem. (I use either BackTalk, or Term, and he's using JRComm
- and for some reason when I send him files there's always 2-3 errors per file
- but when he sends me files there's no problem at all. On text files we get
- speeds of about 2600cps, and on binary files we get about 1600cps thruput.

- I would say that the modems are a good buy. I use mine every day, and I also
- use the GPFax FAX software that came with the modem with NO problems at all.
- I know that many folks also like the PPI 14.4k fax modem, but I don't have
- any personal experience with it.
