As for modems in general, I have a SupraModem 2400 on my AT and home.  The
only thing you need to make an RS-232C external modem work with a Mac is the
DIN-8 to DB-25 serial cable.  This applies for Hayes, US Robotics, Anchor,
Supra, Avatex, Practical Peripherals, etc.  As for the SupraModem itself, it
is a very good modem.  As for the regular price, that is the list or retail
price on the item.  I recommend the SupraModem to all of my customers at work
whether it's for a Sun Workstation or a Mac Plus.  A modem is a modem, if you
want MNP, Supra is going to release an MNP modem soon.  But $149?  That's a
wee bit high, I paid $139 for mine back in January and we sell them for $130
at where I work, unless you are getting that DIN-8 to DB-25 cable and some
terminal software with it.
