Alex, What of the problem with the Supra 144LC modem not hanging up on loss of Terminal Ready signal? Is there a fix for this yet? 73, Kelly
Myron, The very best software to use with a 4000 on CIS is AutoPilot, AmigaVendor Forum, Library 9, AP.LHA. You would also need APDOCS.LHA, since the program and docs are uploaded separately. AutoPilot will save you money because it can do things so quickly and easily, and get you offline…

Gary, I've always dealt with Supra through CIS as I'm in the UK and obviously I was lucky to hit the "someone" who knows about the Amiga 🙂 As far as your ROM's are concerned, well some people are unlucky, others are taken for a ride… I've never had a…
#Baud Bandit Replacement
Message #151534
I would appreciate it id someone can tell me what software is now generally recommended for terminal communications with Compuserve. I am presently using Baud Bandit with Amiga 4000, but am wondering if some other software would be more highly recommended. Advice and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
Trent, >>does not like bad phone lines (just like I have )
Gary, Yeah, I noticed the same. The only problem I had with 2.346 is that it does not like bad phone lines (just like I have ). It hangs if the lines are not up to snuff right after passing the cover page and will not log off (only does…
Alex, Demise of Commodore does not mean the demise of your companies Amiga base customers. I purchased your modem because if I needed support you're here, for me, and not for Commodore. When and if the Amiga dies, I would expect that Supra would still support me. After all, if…

Hello Darren, >>> Where about's in the uk are you? Is your phone line connected to mercury? How do you access CIS at the moment? What do you mean when you say that "the menus do not appear to change".
So, can you upgrade my GPFax v2.01S? Or do I have to send the original disk to Australia? Regards Rafa …via AutoPilot 1.72 from Berlin
Trent, Yes, I have the 2.346 version also. I bought it directly from Dr. Perry at GP Software. It has worked very well so far with four different brands of modems I have tested. I have had much better luck bypassing Supra also. // Gary Vander Mei on Auto-Pilot \X/
Robert, When I had a bad version of GPFax, Supra was of NO help to me. Numberous pleas for help were met with form letter respnoses. Only Dr. Perry offered to help me out. He sent me a replacement disk all the way from Australia. Supra had such a "don't…
Alex, GV>>they only have license to sell the Supra-only version.>Sorry but that's wrong. Supra has from the beginning>the demise of Commodore, doesn't help the decision-making process
By "upgradable" I meant that you could by an upgrade, not that you could apply a patch. My message was that I was pretty sure that the upgrade is licensed for sale by Supra. I know that it is not a patch but a new disk. That is irrelevant to…

Message #151391
The reason that there isn't a patch is the way the new version was done. It's kind of two separate programs on one disk. It's not as if you can install as class 1 then "switch" to class 2. You would need to reinstall from the oringal disk and install…

Gary, The 2.346 version *is* different from every other version (I have it), and it supports both Supra modems as well as generic modems. It asks what type of modem you have at installation (or will check to see what type of modem you do have) and will install the…
Gary, I have a Supra 14.4, and Supra has been alot of help. When I wanted to get my modem to do the silant answer mode they sent me a free Rom upgrade. When that did not fix the problem they gave me a password to download a upgrade to…
Terminus won't go
Message #151274
Jack, Please forgive my earlier message, but I was really frustrated at not being able to get Terminus to run so I could finally check it out to see if I wanted to go ahead and pay for it and use it. With the help of a forum member, I…
Kevin, I am glad to know someone has had some luck with Supra Customer Service. Maybe after some of my calls and letters they changed things. The fact being is that when I have called them I have got responses from "what is an Amiga" to "I think someone here…

Message #151247
Gary, On what basis do you assume that Supra have no people left who know what an Amiga is? And why do you say that the Supra's are so bad? I've got a rack of Modems at the office which I look after and the only ones that I don't…

Dale, Supra never seemed interested in pushing the Amiga version. the adverts always mentioned Pc and Mac, but never, to my knowledge, Amiga, even in Amiga specific mags! Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
