- Heh. I loved Hayes' advert in "Time" for "Tick Tick Tick Boom..." Trying
- to scare business-suit types into thinking that someting "evil" was going to
- happen.
-
- Hayes even offered a program (I don't know if it was a program or just a
- script, but anyway).... And if your modem "reacted" to the escape sequence
- incorrectly it "warned" them.
-
- Multitech (which doesn't have guard times on its modems)... sued 'em. hah.
-
- (they won).
