Does anyone have information on the Supra 2400 baud modem for example, is it Hayes compatible? Does it have a telephone extension jack on the back? Does it have a speaker and volume capibility? Overall impressions? Thanks for the help. Chris

It's on loan from a friend (he doesn't have a cable right now...). I love this modem, and I'm used to a Hayes. As far as I can tell, it is totally Hayes compatible, and that was with comparing the reference manuals of both modems side by side. I'm planning on getting one from Abel's this week. Yes, it has a telephone jack in the back. Yes it has a speaker (a little rougher sounding than my Hayes 1200, but not as bad as an Avatex!). Software volume control a la the Hayes 2400. The front panel is a bit less robust than I like, but the internals work great - no sweat on local and long distance lines - nary a bit misplaced anyware. All in all, a great little modem.

If you don't get a good response about the Supra modem you may want to try out the Practical Peripherals 2400 SA ( SA = Stand Alone ). It has all the features you requested and more. Plus a 5 year guarantee. I've had mine for 3 weeks now and I love it. It seems to have flawless Hayes compatiability. Jim Duncan

Why on earth would anyone buy a 1200 baud modem for $139 when they could get a 2400 for $225? It's not even 100 bucks extra and well worth waiting for. I've seen it for $225 in Canada (@WoC) so I'm sure that you could get it for less than that American. >keith edwards -- the clouds project -- Morgan Jones - Bramalea Software Inc. morgan@brambo.UUCP ...!{uunet!mnetor!lsuc!ncrcan, utgpu!telly}!brambo!morgan "These might not even be my opinions, let alone anyone else's."

Don't you hate it when people miss something? Morgan, the modems referred to (Supra 2400 for $139) ARE 2400 baud modems. No iffs, ands, or buts.
