We use these modems extensively at GE Canada, and they are very reliable. 
The only thing that I dislike about them is the lack of support for the S11 
parameter, which is the length of tone. I'm used to the HST which runs fine 
at a setting of 44. The Supra is 255 which is far longer than necessary. In 
fact one of the new ones (The one I'm on right now) DID take a setup string 
invoked with the S11=50 string, and DID dial it. (Shocking)
They might have updated the hardware.
