Lines: 27 The Supra2400Zi is Hayes Compatible. Infact it has a more complete command set than even the real Hayes modems. The incompatiblity is in that it does not use the amiga's serial.device and all programs that do not let specify what serial device controller will have to be modified with the supra supplied util. Handshake 2.12a Does not work with this modem because they don't use a serial device driver, they go directly to hardware. This problem is supposed to be fixed soon. It's not Supra's fault. It's Commodores. They didn't allow for more than one serial device. This is the same problem that manufacturers of multi-serial cards are having. Not to fret, most newer terminal programs allow one to specify the name of the device driver for the serial port. Handshake is the only program I know of that cannot be made to work with the 2400ZI It's a great modem. And since I run a bbs and do some MIDI, i like having two serial ports, without having to buy a multi serial port card. ------- +--------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Leon D.
