Steve- I would not go with the Sportster. I have a 14.4 Sportster, and there's nothing wrong with it, especially for the price I paid, but the 28.8 Sportster is in the same price region as the Supra and has fewer features – like no Flash ROM. Also, I'd advise against the generic 28.8 unless you're really pinched for cash, because even some of the name 28.8 modems in the PC Mag review did very poorly and just didn't seem to be worth the money. Unless the Courier drops way down in price, I expect I'll get the Supra, especially if it supports Silent Answer. Also, the problem that sysop is referring to may have gone away with newer Revs of the Supra's ROM, although I'm REALLY just guessing, way out on a limb, on that one. Mr. Zombie
