I need to purchase a faster modem. I am presently using a Supra 2400. My question is, are there any available, if so do they work well with the Amiga and would they give me problems with ATalk 3? I need to download large quote files from DJNS and it's taking me almost 30 min. a day at 2400. Thanks for any help. Lee

Lee, I use a Practical Peripherals PM14400FXSA 14,400 Fax/Modem, on my A3000 and it has performed flawlessly. It also came with a lifetime warranty. You can find out about Practical Peripherals products by visiting their forum (GO PPIForum).

Michael, 1. Can you tell me the difference between a PM14400FXSA and a PM14400FXMT? 2. What Amiga software does one use for the Practical Peripherals' fax use? 3. I want a faster modem and am trying to decide between a PM14400FXMT, a USRobotics Sportster and a SupraFaxModem…any input you might have would be appreciated. // daniel on autopilot in paradise \X/ with intel and motorola inside

Both units are both class I and class II fax compatible, which means that you can use GPFax (generic version). For details on the specs of each, GO PPIFORUM and look in their library… they have complete specs there for the downloading/reading. The FXMT has 8 LED's… the FXSA is a bit larger and in addition to the LED's, also sports a terrific LCD display.

Lee, I've seen 14.4K FAX/MODEMS for sale from Microwarehouse for $99! Egghead software is selling the INTEL 14.4K fax/modem for $149.85 Both are v.32bis v.42bis MNP5 compatible. Microwarehouse 800-367-7080 Egghead 800 EGG-HEAD Since they're Hayes compatible they'll work with your Amiga. Chris

I have a SupraFaxModem V.32bis that runs at 14400. It works great. One of the features I like is an LED display that shows your connection speed. This easily identifies what type of line you get.

Hello, Is this an internal modem? If so it sounds like what I'm looking for. Thanks Lee
