#Supra Ships Fax Software
30 messages in this thread
Supra Corporation is now shipping Fax software for the Amiga. GP Fax is
excellent send/rec fax software. With GP Fax you can fax as easily as you
can print. GP Fax also converts IFF graphic files to Fax format and vice
versa. GP Fax features customizeable cover pages,signature, phone books
with individuals and groups, AREX port, junk fax elimination, and many
other features.
GP fax works with the SupraFAXModem Plus, V.32, and V.32bis and other Class
2 compatible modems.

When I bought my Supra 14.4, I had to pay for the MS-DOS FAX software that
came with it. Is there a way I could exchange it or get credit for the
Amiga version? I don't do MS-DOS.

I'm sorry, but no. If you didn't need the dos software you should have
ordered the stand alone package.

Has Supra finalized pricing on the GPFAX s/w alone yet? Is it shipping?

I think it is $49.95, but I'm not sure. I know the software is done, but
we may be holding off shipping the software by itself intil we get caught
in some of the back orders of the complete packages.

That $49.95 is about 1/2 of the last word I heard — bu then, that was a
few months ago and I think ATalk II (or III) was part of that for some
reason…

I called Supra today and they quoted $99.95 for the software alone. The
girl I spoke with did not know if Atalk came with it. I've seen the
software and think it is very good but the price seems a little high and I
don't need Atalk. I did not order it yet. $49.95 sounds more like it. The
Mac fax software for the same modem is $49.95!! Duh, I don't know man.

Mark,
I called Supra about 24 hours earlier than you and was told by
"Michelle" that the GPFax software will only work with Supra Modems ( I do
own a SupraV32bis) which is why at present it is not available separately,
and went on to say maybe I should ring back in 2 weeks and see if a
software only package is available!. I also got the impression that if I
was a U.S citizen I would recieve a mail shot about it but as I am living
in England this would not be the case, which gets me very worried about
getting a "July 15th" Rom upgrade too.
At least it would seem from your message that it is available, but at
$99.95 I think I will wait and see what happens with AFAX, and meanwhile
struggle on with the Demo.
I am beginning to lose faith in Supra, there was a time I would have
recommended thier modems to anybody (I have owned 4) but just last week
persuaded a friend to get a HST DS for his DTP business.

Todd,
That's great news about the Fax software. I was waiting for it before I
upgraded to a Supra modem. What's your top-of-the-line fax/modem? I believe
the V.32bis. Is that correct?
Thanks.

Yes the v.32bis is the top of the line.
Kenny Supra Tech Support
Thanks for the info, Kenny.
Dom Fontana
Quick question: does the V32bis faxmodem have a modem/fax switch in it? Or
do I have to set something manually based on what I think is coming in?

Robert,
The vast majority, if not all comm/fax modems base their mode of
operation on software for outgoing calls (comm program vs a fax program)
and on the handshake tones on incomming calls.
Don
Thanks for the clarification. I think it's about time to get into these
things seriously
Robert,
I'd suggest you take a long hard look at the Practical Peripherials
PM14400FXSA modem also. I'm using one now…works like a champ.
Don
Hi, Don,
How is the Practical Peripherals modem better than the Supra modem? Could
you give me more details, please? Is it a fax modem and if so, does it come
with fax software?
Thanks.
Dom Fontana
Dom,
It's made with the AT&T chip set, the same chips AT&T uses in their
top of the line Paradyne modems. The Supra uses the Rockwell chip set.
The PPI has a 12 character backlit LCD display, the Supra has (I
*believe*…I've only seen pictures of one) a 2 character LED display. The
PPI comes with a lifetime warranty, the Supra warranty is less…I forget
the exact amount of time, but not lifetime. I saw someone mention in the
PPI Forum that their modem had taken a lightning strike and quit
working…PPI fixed it for free. When the same thing occurred to my Supra
2400 modem…I had to pay to get it fixed.
Yes, it's also a fax modem (class I). MS-DOS fax software is
included with the modem.
Street price varies….I understand it's in the $350 to $400 range,
but could easily be wrong on that.
Don
Unless there is fax software for the Amiga, it isn't any better than the
Supra…..

Don,
Thanks for all the info on the PPI modem. Just for clarification, how
exactly do you use the MS-DOS fax software with the Amiga?
Thanks.
Dom Fontana
Robert,
I'm sorry I can't answer your question about modem/fax switch for the
Supra modem, but I haven't purchased it yet. I'm still researching it and I
don't know the answer to your question.
Dom Fontana
Dominick,
have you got a price for a SupraFaxModem V.32bis? I'm interested in one
now that I've seen the amount the V.32bis can save me on CIS. That and
they finally gave us a local 9600 number.
Brian Bartlett
Brian,
Currently CompuServe does not support v.32bis, just v.32, so 9600 will be
the highest potential thruput.
-sja
Steve,
I realize that. Even so, the improved transfer rate, adjusted for
increased cost, more than pays for the modem in a couple of months.
Brian Bartlett
Brian,
Sorry, I don't have a street price for the Supra modem. I'm definitely
getting it, but at a Sysop discount. I'm a Sysop in the MIDI/Music Forum.
Maybe you could call mail order places. Good luck.
Dom Fontana
Brian
I just got my v32 for 383.00 whici is the price of the amiga kit which has
the cable, fax software, ATalk3 software and the modem. Overnight air
included from creative computers. It's great!!! I just have to figure out
how to set it up for CIS.

John,
thanks. I've just talked to Creative and it'll be part of my next
shipment.
Brian Bartlett
Thanks, Dominick. Let me know how you like it.
I received my new SupraFaxModem 14400 with GP Fax yesterday BUT the the
main program (GPFax) has a read/write error!!! 🙁 Have someone succesfully
tried it!? The manual looks well done and complete!

Pat,
It took a bit to get it configured the way I wanted it, but the fax
program seems to work as good as it looks!
I am very impressed with the SupraFax v.32bis all around… It was
a wise choice for me, and I would recomend it to anyone.
Later,

There is no way we can check every disk we ship, and sometimes there are
bad ones go out. Send me your address and a note saying you have a r/w on
your gpfax disk and I will send you another one.
