I'm looking for a modem for my Mac Classic. Nothing fancy, just your basic modem. I've narrowed my search to the SupraModem 2400e (external). I'm interested in comments about the quality of this product and how well it works with the Mac Classic.

I don't know anything about the SupraModem, but I just bought Global Village's TelePort 2400 baud modem for my SE/30 and it works very well. It plugs into your ADB (keyboard/mouse) port, and it has MNP class 4 and 5 error correction. It is quite inexpensive--you can get it for about $130 mail-order. Ed Swierk

If he wants to use the Teleport with his Classic, then he must not has the mouse connected, or buy another pointing device which has 2 ADB connectors, or find a way to split the Classic ADB port into 2. Speaking of the SupraModem, IMHO, it's not bad. I am using one with my good old Plus for over 3 years, so far everything is o.k. The best thing I like about it is its small footprint and front on-off switch. However, its price seems a little bit higher when comprare with other vanilla 2400 baud modems in current market (mony of the 2400 baud modems have priced under $100, some even include comm. software). Just my $0.02. -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Ming Yau So | <<< This area >>> Internet: mings@cs.uoregon.edu | <<< intentionally >>> AOL: Ming So | <<< left blank >>>

The TelePort comes with a Y-connector for the ADB port, so you can plug your keyboard into it and your mouse into your keyboard. Actually, the most attractive feature of it is the price ($130). Other than that, it's your average 2400-baud MNP modem. Ed Swierk
