- Looks to me like you are just on a witch hunt. You got stung by maybe a
- faulty modem or not configuring it properly and you want to see Supra stung
- as well. I have seen just as many I LOVE MY SUPRAFAX messages.
- I have trouble hooking my Telebit onto some modems sometimes, it starts PEP
- while still waiting for an answer but I don't blame the modem. I also heaps
- of problems when I first got it and thought I had wasted my money but once
- the setup was right and people calling in with only 2400 baud modems had
- increased their timeouts (due to V32 and error correcting stuff) it works
- like magic.
-
- BTW My SupraFAX should be arriving any day now
