- From experience using both modems before current ROM upgrades were
- available, the Supra performed better than the BOCA over long distance
- connections. But nothing in comparison, to an old style USRobotics DS
- which is about the best modem I've used for consistently reliable
- connections.
-
- The supra also appears to have faster throughput of about 10-40cps.
