In Digest #203 Tim Mensch describes some features that, he says,
the Supra 2400 modem does not have.
Hmmmmm....
*My* Supra 2400, in a metal case, does indeed let you store a
phone number in its' memory.  It also redials the last number
(or, more accurately, repeat the last command) when you enter
A(slash)  (my site won't take slashes properly so fill in with
the appropriate ascii character)
I don't know about the line isolation feature, I've never hooked
a phone up piggy back.  I suspect that Tim is right though...it
probably doesn't have this one.
Overall I've been pretty pleased with the Supra 2400. But, if I
could bear to part with it for 3 weeks (or more) I'd send it in
and have it checked over.  When the phone rings the modem
speaker comes on...regardless of how the autoanswer settings
are.  The modem doesn't pick up...the speaker just toggles on
and you can hear the conversation coming over the modem.  Also,
the metal case gets a little too hot for my tastes.  Note that
I've never had any real problems with it...just these two minor
annoying things.  Oh...one more comment...I think they speaker
they use is very cheap....not that you need great sound for
the DTMF tones...but it still sounds like it has a rattle.
