- HAYES ANNOUNCES INTERNAL DATA + FAX MODEMS
- - - - - - - - - -
- Hayes ESP Communications Accelerator Built In for
- High-Speed Data Integrity and Increased Throughput
-
- ATLANTA, GA, 4 November 1992 -- Hayes Microcomputer
- Products, Inc. today announced three internal OPTIMA data + fax
- modems which provide data communications and send/receive fax
- capabilities. In addition to supporting CCITT V.42 error-control
- and V.42 bis data compression, these products come bundled with free
- Smartcom FAX and Smartcom EZ data communications software.
-
- OPTIMA 144B + FAX144 provides data throughput to 57,600
- bit/s and fax transmission to 14,400 bit/s; OPTIMA 96B + FAX96
- provides data throughput to 38,400 bit/s and fax transmission to
- 9600 bit/s; and OPTIMA 24B + FAX96 provides both data and fax
- transmission to 9600 bit/s. These products are for IBM XT/AT
- computers and compatibles, and support asynchronous communications
- as well as Hayes AutoSync.
-
- In addition, OPTIMA 144B + FAX144 and OPTIMA 96B + FAX96
- have Hayes ESP Communications Accelerator, a dedicated
- communications co-processor, built into these internal modems. This
- capability ensures data integrity and increases data throughput
- performance when transmitting data at high speeds in multitasking or
- network operating system environments. To support this capability,
- a Hayes ESP Driver for Windows Version 3.1 is included.
-
- "The external OPTIMA product line, brought to the market
- over a year ago, has been the most successful product introduction
- in Hayes history," said Hayes President Dennis C. Hayes. "Now we
- are providing high-quality, competitively-priced, internal versions
- with the added benefit of Hayes ESP Communications Accelerator.
-
- All three products come with Smartcom EZ communications
- software and Smartcom FAX. Smartcom FAX is a command line and
- menu-driven program that allows users to fax documents directly from
- their computers, as well as receive fax messages and then view,
- rotate, flip, print or save the message to disk.
-
- OPTIMA 144B + FAX144, OPTIMA 96B + FAX96 and OPTIMA 24B +
- FAX96 will be available first quarter 1993 for US$519/CDN$699,
- US$419/CDN$569, and US$149/CDN$199, respectively. The products will
- be available throughout the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the
- Caribbean. The products carry a two year limited performance
- warranty. In addition, a special offer by Hayes, available in the
- U.S. and Canada only, allows users to obtain a free extension of the
- limited performance warranty for a total of five years coverage when
- an OPTIMA product is registered within 90 days of purchase by mail
- or through Online With Hayes bulletin board system.
