I am using a Supra right now. It works nicely on noise free lines. It IS more
susceptable to noise than some of the more expensive machines. Jerry Pournelle
is plagued by noisey lines. He reports his 19.2k modem used at 2400 baud is much
better than anything else he has used. (Not sure which brand it was, alas. I
didn't bother to check as I can't afford one just yet. <sigh>)

My experience here indicates it is a little worse than the Ven-Tel 2400 that I
have regarding line noise. It has a much better command set, though. And it 
costs a whale of a lot less.
