- I have one of these modems with a similar problem. I've got a Supra that
- when it calls another Supra, simply refuses to connect. I thought I was just
- going nuts, missing something on the configuration, but after a loan of
- another Supra, and some careful experimentation, I find that it's just a
- flaky modem. I've been happy with the one I have that works; now if I can
- only get a pair so I can connect to work at 14.4K!!
