The new model features CCITT V.32bis compatibility for 14,400 bps connections and both MNP 5 and V.42bis for error correction and compression. Priced at $699, the Intel 14.4EX modem offers 50 percent more performance than 9600 bps modems. The Intel 14.4EX modem also includes free CROSSTALK communications software and installation diagnostic software. The CROSSTALK software offers a choice of 13 different terminal emulations and eight different file transfer protocols, including ZMODEM. Intel's 14.4EX is an external, full-duplex modem featuring full compatibility with CCITT (International Consultative Committee on Telephone and Telegraph) V.32 modulation and V.42 error control. Intel's 14.4EX also uses CCITT V.42bis data compression to compress data as much as fourfold, providing maximum throughput of 57,600 bps. The modem features an attractive brushed stainless steel case with a plastic front panel somewhat similar to the conventional Hayes desktop modem style. The unit comes with an Installation Guide, a Command Guide, and a Command Reference Card offering some of the most extensive documentation we've seen with a modem. The modem offers a couple of unique features. Intel's 14.4EX modem offers a quick connection option with the ATSn command. When enabled, this option can reduce the connect time by as much as half from the typical modem connection time of 12 to 16 seconds. Intel's 14.4EX modem also automatically determines the best speed for optimal throughput. The modem has the ability to speed up and slow down to compensate for any gain or loss in phone line quality by adjusting the data transfer rate to 14,400 bps, 12,000 bps, 9600 bps, 7200 bps and 4800 bps as needed - with line changes occurring in as little as 200 milliseconds. The Intel 14.4EX modem also supports communications with lower-speed modems by automatically negotiating the highest common speed when communicating with 9600 bps, 4800 bps, 2400 bps, 1200 bps or 300 bps modems. To ensure compatibility with the North American installed base of Microcom Networking Protocol (MNP) modems, the Intel 14.4EX supports MNP 1-5 for error control and data compression. Intel is also providing an upgrade path for owners of its 9600 bps modem. Until January 31, users can send their 9600EX modems to Intel for upgrading to V.32bis 14,400 bps, at a cost of $200. For information on the upgrade, call (800)732-0690. Intel's 14.4EX modem offers a three-year limited warranty. Intel modems are sold in more than 2,000 retail computer stores in the United States and Canada. The company has been pretty progressive in putting their own products into play. They offer a FAXBACK service at (800)525-3019. This is essentially a voice mail BBS where you can "order" free product information that is faxed to your own fax machine. Follow the audio instructions to order document 9434 which provides information on the 14.4EX. You will be asked for your fax number and within a few minutes, the brochures and technical specifications come in on your fax. They also provide a capable product support BBS at (503)645-6275. You can download information on their sysop discount program. Qualifying bulletin board operators can purchase the 14.4EX for $399 - a $300 discount from the list price.

The Intel model 400e provides V.32bis data capabilities at 14,400 bps, as well as 14,400 bps Group 3 fax in an external modem package at a list price of $549. It also features the usual V.42bis error correction/compression function now standard on virtually all new modem introductions. It will be available in May, 1992. The $499 internal model 400 will be available in April and includes essentially the same features. Intel is going to some effort to integrate the new FAX/modem packages with fax software, and has historically been the most successful at doing that. The Intel/DCA Communicating Applications Specification (CAS) is the closest thing to a software interface for fax to enjoy some widespread application. Now Intel is talking about WYPIWYF - What You Print Is What You Fax that emulates the Hewlett-Packard Laserjet Series II and III printers - including PCL level 5 support. What this means is that both DOS and Windows applications can fax their output simply by printing it. The Intel software intercepts the print function and redirects it as a fax transmission. This would eliminate all the conversion headaches to take current output files, convert and fax them and reduces the process to one step from within any application.

Most notably, the PM9600SA V.32/V.42bis model was reduced from $699 list to $399. The company is also introducing a new PM14400FXSA model at $549. The new modem features the 14,400 bps V.32bis connection with FAX - thus joining the latest crop of modems using the Rockwell V.32bis/FAX chip set. The most unusual thing about this latest model is that it has the ability to detect credit card "bong" tones to assist in phone credit card dialing. It can also convert telephone numbers that spell things (800-FXMODEM) to their numeric equivalents. Practical Peripherals is a subsidiary of Hayes Microcomputer Products. This will be one of the best Modems to date with their special pricing until Dec, 1992 of only $250.00 for SysOp ONLY. Practical Peripherals, Dept.

The SupraFAXModem V.32bis sports 14,400bps V.32bis with V.42bis and MNP1-5 data compression/error correction. Additionally, it also supports Microcom Networking Protocol (MNP) class 10 error correction. MNP-10 is primarily designed for use with cellular telephone applications and provides a very robust level of error correction. Supra's new model also features Group III fax capability allowing callers to both send and receive facsimile transmissions at up to 14,400 bps theoretically. Realistically, most Group III fax machines offer a maximum transmission speed of 9600bps. But with two of these Supras, you could increase the fax transmission speed by 50%. We'd like to see 14,400bps fax catch on. The modem's front panel display includes a unique status display providing 25 different messages including connection rate, connection type, dialing, ringing, and transmission errors. This display looks something like a digital clock readout and conveys much more information than the usual display status lights. Finally, Supra makes two features available through user-installable ROM chip upgrades - voice mail and caller ID. The voice mail function allows you to use the modem as something of an audio BBS. It will send, receive, and store digitized voice, generate and recognize touch tones, and sample at various frequencies. The caller ID function will detect the telephone number of the calling party and pass it to the computer for storage or display. This feature only works in those areas where caller ID has been implemented, but should provide some very interesting security applications. The modem uses a new Rockwell chipset and features a five year warranty. We liked the sturdy - and small - aluminum cases of these modems when we reviewed our first 2400 model in 1987 - and we still do. The basic case design hasn't changed a bit. About the size of a double deck of bridge playing cards, they run cool and take up little room. Pricewise - Supra has always been frugal. This new model is available bare at $399.95 or with packages for DOS, Windows, or Macintosh computers at prices up to $479.95, including cables, Fax Software, Terminal software, and a box full of the usual online service discount coupons. The company currently discounts this modem to BBS operators at an enormously attractive $249.95.
