- Ditto. In spades.

- My SupraModem wors perfectly. It works much better than my previous modem
- (an EMAC 2400 bbs modem)--I _never_ get garbage characters any more.
-
- I suggest people interested in buying a v.32bis modem read the excellent
- review of about 20 such modems in the Novmber issue of MacUser. While their
- tests do not cover usage results over a 5 year period or anything, they
- _do_ test each modem's performance under a variety of conditions. They
- really like the Supra.
