- I bought recently an Optima 288b V34/VFC, and have had many
- problems , after going back and forth with hayes, I agreed to send it
- back as an exchange for a new modem, that's over 3 weeks ago, email
- gets no answer, a call to hayes produced a promise that someone would
- get back to me, telneting to the bbs is ok, when you can connect, but
- that is infrequently, anyone can produce a piece of bad hardware, but
- it's the support that counts, and I have to say at this point, it
- stinks.....I am using a borrowed $100 288, and it's working fine, a
- few quirks, but at least it works, and I can connect, if not for that,
- I would be paying for an internet account for 3 weeks, and not using
- it at all....after this, I woukd find it hard to recommend ANY Hayes
- prodluct.
