- I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is at the Supra end. There have
- been numerous complaints on the Supra Tech Support BBS about the modem
- "hanging" after retraining. I used to have a USR Dual Standard v.32 and it
- is definitely more robust and reliable than the newer Supra. It works
- perfectly 98% of the time (the Supra, that is), but the remaining 2% can
- really annoy you.
