- I've made regular connections to both California and Florida from Ohio at
- 9600 baud --- no worrys mate. I'm using FAX stf 2.2.0 (supplied with the
- modem which I purchased direct from Supra and WhiteKnight 11.12.
-
- I'm very satisfied with the modem and think I got a great value for the
- money I spent. JOME (just one man's experience)
