 LB> Hi Dana, I think you will be very happy with your new 56K supra when

 Heck, the Supra internal I configured was made by Diamond... no jumpers,
 no way to set the setting outside W95... and all the CONNECT speed report
 was reporting the COMPUTER TO MODEM speed, so every connect, you see this
 amazing 115200bps connection... I'm not sure about the other model, but
 I would recommand AGAINST SupraExpress series of modems, at least the
 internal one...
 LB> PS.  I do hope you live close to your ISP for a faster connect than I
 LB> get.  My almost always connects at 42000; sure would like to see
 LB> connections in the range of 46000-48000  Once you get your modem setup
 LB> please let us all know your connection rates...
 I got a whole lot of 46666bps connection with X2... I'm about 10KM or
 slightly less from my ISP...
... This try, try again stuff gets to be a REAL bore after a while!
