Hey, folks...this is getting almost as out of hand as the discussion
over in the handheld group about HP's rom releases on the 48...

Your "old" modem still works, right?  It does all the neat stuff that
made you buy it in the first place, right?  Sure, people that
are buying them now are getting "more."  But they haven't had the
modem as long as you.  Supra's being pretty cool by letting you
upgrade your modem for a fairly reasonable cost.  

Heck, they could have pulled an Apple (tm) and released a SupraModem
II, Plus, or whatever,  with no upgrade path at all.  (8^)

Even worse, they could stop trying to make better modems, fail
miserably in the market, go out of business, and leave your modem
orphaned, like the Banana PC Jr.

(who's not upgrading his SupraModem, since I don't need the added
functions...yet.)
