-
- A month ago I borrowed a Supa V.32" from a friend, to try it out. The
- problems I had with it was:
-
- * Sometimes very long initial connection times.
- * I couldn't get it to do V.42" with some modems I knew had this capability.
- * It is known, that it can't negotiate a fallback
- * It doesn't detect BUSY on all tele equipment (Swedish style BUSY tone).
-
- I didn't like the silly two letter display. They display is simply too
- small to handle the information it is supposed to present.
-
- Yesterday I ordered a DigiCom Scout+ instead.
