- Do you really think this is true? I am evaluating a Hayes Optima 144+
- FAX 144, and it seem to me that it is a better buy than the others in
- its class (Telebit T3000, USR V.32bis). I'm not sure of the price of the
- USR, but I am quite sure the price of the T3000, and the T3000 doesn't
- even have FAX capability yet. Also the Optima is one of the few I've
- seen that does FAX at 14.4K (although of course this is of little use
- if other FAXes don't do the same :-).
-
- I will say, though, that the software bundled with the Hayes
- is PITIFUL. Horrible horrible horrible!
