Alex, Does that Supra deal apply to overseas (Australia)?

sorry the upgrade offer (from older Supra's to the V34) is domestic only..
In general it is less expensive for international customers to sell their older
modem locally then buy the V34 (due to the international shipping prices).
In the recent PC Mag review of V34 modem's although they only rated us as
"average", remember that they tested with 1-05 code..There were very few modems
released with that code. The bulk was shipped with either -08 or -12, and now
we are on -15 (the magic of Flash roms). With each new code rev, the Supra
just gets better and better. I have finally got my 3000 back recently and will
try to finish up the Amiga Flasher. Although it was decided not to release the
flasher code outside of Supra, If any of you programmer types can explain hunk
files to me, it might get done sooner. I have a 300 K ascii file that contains
the code that needs to be sent to the modem. I have the program pretty much
done except for getting that code into the compiled program. It is too
big..The hints that I have recently been working from indicate that I can take
the data and put it in a hunk file and link it to the program during
compilation…Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to work correctly.
Any clues can be sent to me at alex@supra.com. Please be patient with me, I
have done very little programming since..oh 1985 when I was doing Pascal on
Apple II's and C=64's.

Not sure whether that's the case here (Australia). The V34 I think would cost
about US$400 here. I think I'd be lucky to get US200 for the current one and
from memory I guess postage would be about US$30. I might enquire with my
local friendly neighbourhood dealer …:-)
