- Hayes is clearly earning their new reputation as a company that is
- maintaining market share via legal actions, threats and intimidation.
-
- Like IBM, Hayes 'old boy' management apparently doesn't think that it
- is cost effective to compete on technology alone. Maybe this is why Hayes
- modems are priced substantially higher than the competition's similarly
- featured products.
-
- Toby, I can see that you are good at marketing, and an asset to your
- employer, but can you name one thing Hayes has done in the last 5 years
- to advance modem technology?
