From what I hear, the Supra model is your best bet. The one reviewed by PC Mag didn't perform too well, but it had a Rev4 ROM I believe, and the ROM rev is up to 15 or so now. I'm not sure whether there's a ROM flasher for the Amiga yet – Alex Baker said he was going to try and make one – but at least there's a chance of getting one, whereas with other brands of modems, it'll be a cold day in hell before you can get a ROM flasher. Of course you could always bring your modem to the place you bought it or something… Regardless, as far as I can see, the Supra offers the best bang for the buck on the economy level – the first model that beats it, the USR Courier, costs about twice as much, and no other models in its price class offer flash ROMs. One thing I want to know is whether there's a silent answer version. Anyone? Mr. Zombie
