Does anybody out there have experience with the following two different
modems?
(1) Smart One 1200/2400 modem
Note: it is a Smart One, not Smart.
(2) Supramodem 2400
Mac Warehouse sells both of them for same price ($149.00) and I have no
idea which is better. I don't see much difference from the cataloge
except the regular price is $279 for Smart One and $179 for Supramodem
but I don't know how much it means.
Any information will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

While he's only had it a short time, it seems quite functional. It's about the size of a Hayes Smartmodem(tm), and claims 100% compatability. JMB.

Have anyone used a SmartLink 2400 modem together with a Mac ? -- Stefan Lindmark Email: d88-sli@nada.kth.se Snail-mail: Don't even bother... - Don't ask me, I haven't even read the manual of this space shuttle.

As for modems in general, I have a SupraModem 2400 on my AT and home. The
only thing you need to make an RS-232C external modem work with a Mac is the
DIN-8 to DB-25 serial cable. This applies for Hayes, US Robotics, Anchor,
Supra, Avatex, Practical Peripherals, etc. As for the SupraModem itself, it
is a very good modem. As for the regular price, that is the list or retail
price on the item. I recommend the SupraModem to all of my customers at work
whether it's for a Sun Workstation or a Mac Plus. A modem is a modem, if you
want MNP, Supra is going to release an MNP modem soon. But $149? That's a
wee bit high, I paid $139 for mine back in January and we sell them for $130
at where I work, unless you are getting that DIN-8 to DB-25 cable and some
terminal software with it.
