- This is old news. The same situation occured with FAXstf for the Mac.
- With ROM v.1.00, a `hacked' version of FAXstf was released. Supras
- with ROM v.1.200C were released with a different version of FAXstf.
-
- Something similar undoubtedly occured with WinFAX; check the Supra
- ROM version with `ati3', then check with the publisher of WinFAX.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. Line noise is a fact of life, but
- I've successfully used used the Supra for long distance FAX and
- data, with no more problems than I was accustomed to with a
- 2400/9600 data/fax modem.
