I had intended to first bring up what the Supra didn't have that
this generic one did, and then point out that this modem had those
features that the Supra DID have.

This won't work AFTER a connect--I was refering to an earlier post
that described this problem.

The two lines are hard wired together.  It isn't a feature on the
Supra.

This is something that just happens with the Supra--it has to do
with the chip.  Though there is some problem that some Supras had--
I can't remember what that was. 

My point wasn't that Supras are "bad" modems, only that a better one
could be had for about $110.
