- Okay, then in my case, it is the fault of JrComm 1.01, Term 2.4,
- ATalk III, Access!, termlite, Excelsior! BBS, Microhost BBS, Trinity BBS,
- Elite BBS, and Handshake. I will inquire with the authors (not).

- I have proved my point numerous times. It becomes tedious to retype
- it 50 imes for everyone who disagrees.
-
- Second, I AM NOT SLANDERING ANYONE. I AM EXPRESSING MY OPINION OF
- A PRODUCT THAT I PURCHASED THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS NOT SLANDER.
- Please check your sources before slandering a decent post.

- Now about this Supra crap....if I never ran a BBS I never would
- have known that there was something wrong other than the speaker broke,
- the LED with the NEW ROMS (both the H and J) would flicker like hell, I
- would get dumped from BBSs while online numerous times, I would NOT be able
- to connect to other Supra modems above 9600, and sometimes not even ever,
- the DELETE key caused the LED to pass a verticle bar of one pixel wide across
- the LED every time I hit DELETE or BACKSPACE, the modem made hissing noises
- the moment I turned it on, and it does not connect to other modems if they
- are calling me, and we can't play games like Populous and Populous II.
-
- Supra says I have line noise. Funny how I never see any, and how
- when a BBS caller complains about it, the line noise is always identicle to
- what it was before. I can reliably create the same line noise on my modem.
- I can make the same characters appear, and the same disappear. Maybe I am
- living in an alternate dimension or something.
-
- I have had 10 callers to my BBS in the last 3 weeks. My best friend
- tres to connect 5 or 6 times a day. Now I have his modem and he has mine.
- He still can't connect, but everyone else can. Actually he did connect once
- last night but was unable to log off.
