Supra Breaks Price Barrier With
Powerful SupraFAXModems

14,400 bps Fax and Data (V.32bis) Modem for only $399

ALBANY, OR, January 1992

A wide range of features  fax, data, voice, caller ID, unique status display,
small case, and very attractive price all combine to make the new
SupraFAXModem* family of modems from Supra Corporation an intriguing new
opportunity for computer users.  The SupraFAXModem* V.32bis features 14,400
bps fax and data for $399.95 retail, and the SupraFAXModem V.32 features 9600
bps fax and data for $299.95 retail.

On the fax side, both modems feature Class 1 and 2 commands, compatibility
with Group 3 fax machines, and the ability to send and receive faxes directly
from the computer.  On the data side, both modems support communication at
speeds ranging from 300 bps to 14,400 bps (9600 bps for the SupraFAXModem
V.32), plus they also support CCITT V.42bis, MNP 2P5, and MNP 10 data
compression and error correction protocols.  When using V.42bis (4:1
compression), the SupraFAXModem V.32bis provides up to 57,600 bps throughput,
and the SupraFAXModem V.32, up to 38,400 bps throughput.

Both modems also feature a revolutionary status display, which allows for an
unlimited number of status messages.  In a display that looks similar to a
digital clock, the modems presently give the user up to 25 different messages,
conveying things like connection rate and type (FX), dialing (DI), ringing
(RI), and transmission error (TE).  This display is a great advantage compared
with most other modems, whose finite number of indicator lights limit how much
information they can convey to the user.

All of these features are packed into a case about the size of two decks of
playing cards placed side by side (1" x 4.5" x 6.5") a case that is half the
size of many other V.32 and V.32bis modems.

All that's needed to use an external SupraModem is a computer (or terminal)
with an RS-232C interface, communications software, and a cable to connect the
modem to the computer.  Everything else is included:  the modem, operator's
manual, quick-reference card, power adapter, and telephone cable.


Voice & Caller ID

SupraFAXModems also support two important features:  voice and caller ID that
can be enabled through low-cost, user-installable firmware upgrades available
mid-1992.

The voice feature allows the modems to send and receive digitized voice and
implement several voice functions.  The modems can compress and uncompress
voice data for efficient storage, generate and recognize touch tones, and
sample at various frequencies, depending on the quality level desired.  This
feature will be useful for interactive applications such as voice mail,
answering machines, and digital announcers.

Caller ID (where available) allows the number from which an incoming call was
dialed to be displayed on the user's screen before the call is answered.  This
will be useful for secure communications, automatic identification of incoming
calls, and interactive voice applications.

Innovation & Chip Sets Combine For Killer Pricing At $299.95 and $399.95
retail, respectively, the SupraFAXModem V.32 and SupraFAXModem V.32bis are
about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of similar modems.  Supra is able to offer these
prices because of innovative designs and state-of-the-art chip sets from
Rockwell International.  RWe are very excited about the power we're putting
into our customers' hands, and the outstanding quality we are able to deliver
at these very affordable prices,S said John Wiley, President of Supra
Corporation.

In addition to the stand-alone modems, packages that include cables and
software will be available for IBM PC and Macintosh computers.  IBM PC
internal models will also be available.
