- According to the discussion in comp.dcom.modems, the "heating problem"
- is just because (due to its small size) the Supra uses the case as a heat-sink
- so that you don't have to put in bulky fans, etc. There have been reported
- problems, but the most serious (from a man who ordered 10) seems to have
- been a bad shipment as nearly every other opinion has been positive. Of course
- I am WAY behind on my reading of that group, so things may be different now,
- but this is the way it looked a couple of days ago. BTW, if you do get a
- Supra, try and get the 1.200C ROMs or later.
