I happen to be using a Supra 2400 unit right now.  It's on loan from
a friend (he doesn't have a cable right now...).  I love this modem, and
I'm used to a Hayes.  As far as I can tell, it is totally Hayes compatible,
and that was with comparing the reference manuals of both modems side by
side.  I'm planning on getting one from Abel's this week.

Yes, it has a telephone jack in the back. Yes it has a speaker (a little
rougher sounding than my Hayes 1200, but not as bad as an Avatex!).
Software volume control a la the Hayes 2400.  The front panel is a bit less
robust than I like, but the internals work great - no sweat on local and
long distance lines - nary a bit misplaced anyware.

All in all, a great little modem.
