Supra Modems are available here at reasonable prices so anyone with experience, who can give a bit of advice, your help will be greatly appreciated. If any UK reader can recommend software for c comms use with the Amiga, your comments will also be valued. Thanks to all John W 70374,744.

John, Term is a very good comms prog and the latest version (3.3) is available here on Compuserve. It is giftware, i.e. if you use the program the author would like you to send him a gift of some description (he gives a few suggestions) Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium

As you are in the UK, do you know of CIX? They're on 081-390-1255. Plenty of knowledgeable people there too. 🙂 Regards, Shraddhan (via AP at last from Hertfordshire, England)

I own a SupraFAXModem V.32bis and is fairly satisfied by its performance. Note, however, that Supra soon will announce a new model discontinuing the current one. It will be based on a newer Rockwell chip set and the older modems will not be upgradable. – You may also GO SUPRA and read the messages in that forum. Regards, J0RGEN ….from DENMARK

John: I have a lot of experience with Supra modems. I've owned aSupraModem2400, a SupraModem 2400zi (internal Amiga modem),a SupraModem 2400MNP, a SupraModem 2400 Plus, as well as my current SupraFaxModem v.32bis modem. I've also used many other brands of modem, and of the modems I've used, the Supra modems are by far the finest ones I've used. If you buy a SupraFaxModem v.32bis make sure that you get the Amiga package as it comes with a terminal program (although there are better ones available online here), as well as their GPFax software, which allows you to send & recieve FAXes with your Amiga. If you have any specific questions about either the Amiga, or Supra modems, feel free to ask, I'll try and help if I can. // -Mike Schiller \X/ AMIGA! On AutoPilot in sunny Fort Lauderdale

Hi John, I use a Supra V32bis Fax with JRComm (shareware) now replaced by Terminus for general comms, AutoPilot (available from CIS) for here and GPFax for the obvious. I'm happy with all of them and they should all be available in the UK. Do you have any specific queries? regards, Lu on AutoPilot downunder
