I don't think the Teleport suits John's need, since the Classic has only
one ADB port, not 2, and the Teleport has only 1 ADB connector too.  If he
wants to use the Teleport with his Classic, then he must not has the mouse
connected, or buy another pointing device which has 2 ADB connectors, or
find a way to split the Classic ADB port into 2.

Speaking of the SupraModem, IMHO, it's not bad.  I am using one with my 
good old Plus for over 3 years, so far everything is o.k.  The best thing
I like about it is its small footprint and front on-off switch.  However,
its price seems a little bit higher when comprare with other vanilla 2400
baud modems in current market (mony of the 2400 baud modems have priced
under $100, some even include comm. software).

Just my $0.02.
