[lotsa stuff about how great his product is deleted, along with Supra-bash]

That sounds like, gee, I'm really sorry I'm beating you with this bat!  It
won't happen again!  A friend of mine who's a GVP dealer >didn't know< that
it was inappropriate to post prices here, and he got flamed viciously for
weeks.  You posted that YOU KNOW IT'S WRONG, BUT YOU'RE JUST GONNA DO IT
THIS ONE TIME, and you expect people to be nice to you.  You also cast
aspersions on a product that you obviously aren't familiar enough with, when
you know full well that the company that makes it can't respond here.

I bought my Supra Modem 2400 at the World of Commodore show in Philly back
in November of '88.  It came with a cable, was fairly new on the market, and
cost $135.  The only times I've even >suspected< it of causing a problem
turned out to be that I had a bad binary of my term (Online!_Platinum ==
good term) the first time, and that the phone company had two bare wires
touching each other outside my house the second time.  In other words, 20
months later, I've got a product that works as well as the day I bought it. 
I don't know of any other product that I can say the same of, including Ami
(mounse had to be replaced).
