I know Rockwells can do 31200 to Rockwells and to USR's in some

instances.

What is on the other end  of this link....and whose choice was the

And as far as I am concerned YOUR SUPRA 33600 is NOT THE AVERAGE

33600 ROCKWELL MODEM, because Supra do a lot of work to improve what

they start with. Which other Manuufacturer using a Rockwell chip has

taken the time to improve connections to USR's or other Manufacturers?



Oh, and that USR BUG that you are refering to is in fact there because

Rockwell had gone there own way in the first place and USR had to

De-Tune their technology to be more compatiable with THEM.

(A KLUDGE FOR A KLUDGE) Now you are saying that Supra has to go

backwards to go forwards.
