I wanted to post a plug for Supra Modems. I bought my Supra 2400 baud modem about 18 months ago for less than $150.00. It's worked great until lighting came in on it a few weeks ago. I called Supra and they said to send it in. I was surprised that a company selling such inexpensive equipment would even have a repair department. They replaced 3 ic's and the power supply. The total charge was $25.00 and I had the modem back nine days after mailing it to them. Supra turned out to be a very nice company to deal with all around. Bob Church CS656@OUACCVMB

Since Bob Church gives Supra a plug, I might as well give Avatex a plug.
I have an Avatex 1200 which got a zap from lightning. I called the company
and they told me to send the modem in with $25 and they replaced it. I got
it back in about two weeks (10 working days). The only thing I don't like
about it is that it does not like to be initialized, and some programs want
to initialize it. For some programs I have to tell them to go online, and then
ATDT number. But we live and learn... Oh and by the way it only ran me $95
for the modem and a $15 cable.

(A response to Bob Church's comments about Supra's support of the SupraModem)
Bob, I agree. I've got a SupraModem and have never had a bit of trouble with
it. It was inexpensive, it's fast, and it supports all the applicable Hayes
commands. A very nice modem, and I reccommend it to everyone who wants a 2400
baud modem.
