- hmmm...
-
- I use my Supra to connect to BBSs, to do uucp (originating node), to
- send and receive faxes. No unattended call-ins.
-
- I could do every connection I wanted. Good performance. Never looses
- carrier. For me it was a good, cheap buy. So yes.
-
- But sometimes I have to try twice to connect. Some AT commands do not
- do what I would expect. I could do every setting I wanted, but sometimes
- it required some un-understood try and error rather than manual-reading.
-
- So it is not what you would call "reliable". I wouldn't run a BBS or a
- uucp backbone through it.
-
- I am on a tight budget, so it was a "this one or a 2400" choice to me.
- I'd choose "this one" again. After all, it _IS_ cheap. You can't buy
- a Ferrari for $500 either.
