2338.0. "Where to buy Supra-Modems?" by MUNICH::CARLI (Bernardo da Vinci - the Amiga genius) Wed Mar 08 1989 12:04

    Ok, finally I (and 5 friends of mine) made the decision to buy
    Supra 2400 Baud modems. It seems to be the best quality for a 
    reasonable price. Because the modems here in Germany are much more
    expensive, a friend of mine is gonna buy them in USA. 
    So US-Amiga folks please give me the adresses of good dealers, who
    have cheap prices (I heard the modem is about $139) and a quick
    order service. 
    
    Any recommendations would be appreciated.
    
    Thanks a lot!

    Doesn't the Bundespost object to use of such modems?  I thought they
    had a monopoly on equipment connected to phone lines.  Or has that
    changed?

    It probably has changed. Now modems and accoustic-couplers can be used
    if they have been tested by the Fernmeldetechnischen Zentralamt. If
    they work right on the German phone lines they get a ZZF-Number and you
    can legally use them on the phone net. Because this is a relativ new
    law and the Bundespost is working relativ slow - many modems haven't been 
    tested yet.
    Networking in the USA is really much easier...
