Thanks for the info Russell.  :-)



I am going to buy another modem around Christmas time

and hopefully there is going to be some progress in this direction.



Currently I am using a Dynalink 33.6k and sometimes a Netcom 14.4k modem.

I am going to start monitoring the Supra echo from now on.



Are Supra modems available in Australia or would I have to import it myself

from the US?
