- Forget Supra,
-
- I gonna never buy again a Modem from them...
-
- They are story tellers...
-
- They don't deliver the ROMS yet to Germany ! My Supra FAX Modem still
- disconnects during each BBS-session 2-3 times ! What I have wasted
- my money for redialing and having trouble wit it !!! :-(((((
-
- Has somebody already the new ROM code ?
-
- Could somebody make it available on a FTP site or email it to me, so
- that I can burn an Eprom and see, if it is not the Rockwell-Chipset
- that is doing the RE and TE disconnect ???
