- Abaton Modems are now Everex modems, but Everex has discontinued support of
- Macintosh products (at least here in Canada, but I was told "everywhere!"),
- so you are now a friend of an officially orphaned investment (OOI!).
-
- However, I notice in today's news listings that Everex is in deep financial
- straits, which may presage the breakup of the company. (Losses of 80-120
- MILLION for last year, and high losses for 1st qtr. this year; CEO and CFO
- both have quit, effective immediately.)
-
- So, soon your friend's Abaton/Everex Macintosh modem might be obsolescent,
- rather than just an orphan.
-
- (Tell him not to feel too bad: I just installed an Abaton with InterShare on
- a company's network--now they got nowhere to go for upgrades, etc.)
