Jonathan,
Having now had experiences with three v.34 modems, Supra, USR, and
Practical Peripherals, I can definitely say there's v.34 and then there's v.34.
Of the three the Supra is least expensive ($239, vs. $239 for PP and
$269 for USR), has a nice visual display of connect info, speed, protocol,
etc., which the others don't have, and provides the most consistent and
maintainable hi speed connections. On the same connection the Supra connects
at 24000 90% of the time, while the other two connect at 21600 90% of the time.
I vote for the Supra, based on my experience.
