     Its certainly made a big difference for a small price to me! <grin> I'm
     using an Adspeed equipped, TOS 1.4 Mega 4 ST with a Supra Express modem
     and at 38,400 I get 2600 to 2800 cps from most of the ftp sites...I get
     much faster results from the local BBS's...BTW, even though the Supra
     Express is the cheapest 28,800 Supra modem, I wouldn't get another one.
     Why? Well, its low-priced but low-featured as well...there is no on/off
     switch, only 4 indicator lights on the front panel (Power, Send, Receive,
     Online) and it has a serial cable that is not removeable-only uses the
     older style connector-I can't hook it up to my Falcon without a 9-pin
     adaptor. It also does not have non-volatile ram. I would definitely
     recommend one of the other Supra modems or some other manufacturer...
     Well, thats just one man's opinion...<grin> Good luck with your RSVE
     kit! :)
