     I used a Paradyne DTU-1200D for a while and experienced difficulty
connecting to a BBS with a Supra Modem.  I don't know if there was a
difference in the frequency of the answer tone, though.  What I experienced
was one answer tone for 2400 bps.  After a few seconds the tone changed.
It appeared the Supra was generating an answer tone for 2400 bps, then, if
no connection had been made, falling back to a 1200 bps tone.  Trouble was
my Paradyne modem would time out while the Supra was still sending its 2400
bps tone.  I worked around it by dialing manually, waiting for the second
tone, and then sending the Paradyne into originate data mode.
