 GG> Here's USRs -own- BBS, polling me, getting 33600 connects.  (How many

I agree the 2 are compatible.  I own both and they work perfectly with each
other.
 GG> Check the features of the USR V.Everything.  Check the features of the
 GG> SupraFAXModem (336) or the Supra Sonic.  Check who's done the most
 GG> continual refinement of their firmware.  Check the prices.
 GG> The choice should be clear to you.  It is to me.  Hope this helps

If I could get my Supra to quit crashing, I'd agree.  It's crashed 3x in
the last 2 weeks, on v.34 connections to 3 different users.  My Courier
has never crashed in 2 years.  I'm hoping this is just a bug in the current
Supra flash.  I really do want this modem to work.  When it is working, it
works very well.
