I have SupraFax 288's and love them. Will probably build a rack for them
later, for now turn them on their side and space them a little for better
ventilation (they *do* run warm). Hate the damn wall-wart transformers,
though a little creativity with powerstrips creates a nice way to handle
8 at a time.

Only problem has been with a few customers with old USR's who don't
understand that its *their* modem at fault.
