I am coming in using a supra v32bis and running microphone pro on a mac.  I get
lots of gibberish along with a lot of random beeps about half the time--(but
getting the connection at 14.4 when I do get through is great.)  I emailed Kent
a couple of days ago and he suggested I talk to someone else using microphone
pro, but judging by the last few posts in this group, it looks like the new
modems rather than my local system may be the prime factor
