I plan to purchase a modem.  I have recently noticed on a 
MacWarehouse catalog two economical modems: Power User and Supra.  I called 
their technician to find out more about these two 2400 baud modems.  He 
told me that the only difference in their functionality is that Supra modem 
has error correction feature which power user lacks.  Is it a very important 
feature?  After talking to him, I reread the ad and find that the Power User
modem was advertised to have Advanced Error Diagnostic feature.  Is it 
something similar to error correction?  If you have answer to either of the 
above questions or want to comment on those modems as well as others in the 
same price range, please reply to me through mail.

Many thanks in advance
