- But as we all know, all of the "LAB TESTING" in the world doesn't
- count for diddly-squat when you get outside the lab and try to
- use the equipment under real world conditions and on real world
- phone lines.

- As operator of a 162-node central site host system, I can personally
- attest that my customer's results with Hayes products of recent
