Hi it's me again - thanks to everyone for replying, some really helpful stuff
there! Sorry I'm not able to thank everyone individually.
I just ordered a Psion Dacom Surfer 33.6. And that's after some loooong period
of thought... The SupraExpress seems fine, except the UK retailers that I spoke
to that offered it for a bargain price said I'll need to get a 11 pounds
firmware update so enable it to run at 33.6k! Even though the modem is called a
33.6. How very odd. Makes me suspicious - are they selling off old 28.8k modems
here?
I can buy the real thing directly from Diamond - the SupraExpress 33.6i Sp - but
the price advantage is gone so I decided not to bother.
Thanks again!
Any comments...?

Mike
