	About two years ago I had a friend who purchased the zoom 2400 baud
modem because it was cheaper than the Supra 2400.  He had nothing but line
noise problems.  He took that one back and purchased a Supra 2400 and didn't
have any further problems.  I know of at least ten Supra 2400 modems in use
by work, friends, and the BBS.  A few have taken lightning hits and Supra
repaired them.  It was free if within the one year warrantee period.

	I don't know about the SupraModem 2400 Plus they just announced.  We
are going to trade in out 2400 modems for the 2400 Plus models.  They provide
MNP5 & V.42.  They also come with a 5 year warranty!  Priced at $239.95, you
can't beat them.
