    I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is at the Supra end.  There have
been numerous complaints on the Supra Tech Support BBS about the modem
"hanging" after retraining.  I used to have a USR Dual Standard v.32 and it
is definitely more robust and reliable than the newer Supra.  It works
perfectly 98% of the time (the Supra, that is), but the remaining 2% can
really annoy you.
