A friend of mine is looking into buying a modem. She found a 2400 baud Supramodem for $149. Has anybody ever heard about this modem or have experience with it? Any information is welcome. Thanks in advance. Owen

Works well, SmartCom thinks it's a smartModem. It's small, fast, cheap and has the power switch on the front so you don't have to go looking for it. I've had good experiences with it!! -- David M.

Overall, I have found no problem with it, with the following exception: If the modem is off, and my Mac is on and I turn the modem on using the (convienent) front panel switch, ksometimes (>50%) my Mac instantaly turns off. I have a Mac II with the software controlled off. I have solved this problem by leaving the thing on all the time, but I have a friend who turns his off regularly since his roommates' phone conversations are audiable over the built in speaker and its driving him crazy. He either turns off his Mac II first, before turning on the modem, or chances it and worries about what damage he may be doing. Anyone else with experience/solutions/suggestions? jim campbell
