- Thanks to some helpful people on Usenet, I've gotten my Suprafaxmodem
- v.32bis working just fine and dandy for data communications. I know
- that a number of Supra owners have had problems connecting to other
- modems at high speeds, but it seems that most work just fine.
-
- As for faxing, I managed to install the NXFax demo (which is supposed
- to work with ZyXel modems), but wasn't able to fax anything other than
- a cover page. Since removing the demo, I haven't been able to use tip
- to call remote sites, but kermit still works fine. B&W is supposedly
- going to come out with a Supra driver for NXFax in the near future,
- and some other company is apparently thinking of doing so as well.
-
- In short: I'm very happy with my Supra, and while I haven't quite
- gotten faxing to work, I'm sure that it won't be long before that
- arrives as well.
