My Sportsters (I have two of them) are both V92. External Serial cable
types.
I had another one that was V90, and I did not notice any difference
beween the V90 and V92. But that V90 one died.

I'm looking on ebay at a NEW Supra Express 56K ITU standard.

Also an external serial modem.

The box says "Shotgun ready for speeds up to 112K
Voicemail, Internet and Fax
56K ITU standard V90 and K56Flex.".

I dont know what ITU means....
It is V90, but what is K56Flex?
Is that better than just V90?

And what about that "Shotgun Ready"?
I know there are some people online who I'd like to shoot, but I'm not
into murdering anyone online by pulling the trigger on my modem. LOL

Seriously what does the shotgun ready mean?

Shotgun is combining two dial-up modems on two different copper phone
lines. http://www.modemhelp.net/faqs/shotgun.shtml for its details.


Like I said, I am considering buying another brand of modem. I hear that
Supra is one of the better brands. BUt if it's just anoither V90, isnt
that gonna work the same as my Sportster?

I noted that these Supra ones sell for a lot more than the USR sportster
modems sell for on Ebay. The cheapest one I found is $30 (but its NEW
and still in the box). Most of the Sportsters sell for $15 to $20, but
most are USED.

Wow, I remember Supra. I think I had its 28.8k external modem I bought
from my college roommate, but its connection sucked with 16800 speed.


Whats a real joke is that there are sellers trying to sell 1200 baud
Supra modems for $90. Who in their right mind would even want a 1200
baud modem, much less pay that much for one?

Were they brand new and unopened?


There are a lot of Supra modems selling that are USB type, but I cant
use them on my Win98 machine, so I wont buy a USB type.

I tried a couple winmodems at work. Dang they suck. Also, they don't
work under a Mac Mini's Mac OS X v10.9. (no driver).
