- I've found that I keep my SUPRA very happy doing the following:
- 1) Make sure you have the 1.2H roms, they fixed all my mysterious hangs that
- I had previously.
-
- 2) Every time you send an INIT string to the modem, prelude it with an ATZ
- command. I don't know why but ever since I added the ATZ I have never had
- another SUPRA modem screw up.

- Hope this helps
- Tommy P. - That's me
