Thanks for the advice concerning the ZOOM 9600 modem, and sorry for taking so long to come back to you. Most of the boards I call are either V32 or DS, so I'll probably go V32. Thanks again. Regards Bob Whap!ping from sunny (!?) East London

Bob Saw your message and that you are from East London like me ,can we buy ZOOM Modems in the UK ? Mark

Hi Mark, I don't think you can buy ZOOM in the UK, and you wound'nt want to anyway, as is would be marked up in the usual way. If I buy a ZOOM, I will probably import from a US supplier such as Doirect Micro (here on CIS) that delivers to the UK. Hope that's helpful. BTW I still can't decide between the ZOOM (big, but available now) and the SUPRA v32bis (neat but not yet shipping) what do you think? Regards Bob Whap!ping from sunny (!?) East London

Bob, I am using the latest beta-version of the SupraFAXModem V.32bis. Supra Engineering gave it to me on Saturday and It works great!! I believe the product magager will approve this version for max production which means huge piles of boxes will start shipping in about two weeks. Alan

Hi Alan Thanks for the info. Tell me, are Supra doing fax software for the amiga that will use this modem, or is there any stuff out there that we can use to send fax via this exciting new modem? Regards Bob Whap!ping from sunny (!?) East London

Bob We now have fax software for the Amiga. It is called GPFax, it is from down-under(Australia) and looks really good. Kenny Supra Tech Support

Kenny, Does GPFax support ARexx?

Alan: I am interested in the modems that Supra produces. Specifically, I was thinking about the 2400+ zi, the internal modem for the A-3000. The question I have for you is: Does it auto-dial, and is it compatible with other terminal programs besides the A-Talk III that is packaged with it? Finally, does it include some type of driver to allow the computer to access the board? It would be nice to get an internal modem like that, since it would free up the serial port for future expansion, such as a TNC or RTTY modem. The 9600 external sounds nice, but they tend to be a bit pricey! <grin> Thanks for your help! —-Dave

Dave, It can auto-dial as long as the software handles auto-dialing. It will work with any terminal program that allows you to choose the device driver to work with. Yes it includes modem0.device which is a replacement for serial.device that allows you to talk to the board. Kenny Supra Tech Support

Bob, Well I don't know that much about the modems in question although I do like the look of the Supra Models. Do you have any idea of how much they would cost if you bought one through CIS once the shipping charge has been added? MARK

Well Mark, I'm not sure what shipping on a supra would cost, I would guess $20 max, but it may be worth taking a look in the mall and asking some of the merchants, they are usually quite helpful. Regards Bob Whap!ping from sunny (!?) East London
