   What about Microcom.  They defined the high speed market long before 
Hayes got into the high speed area.  Where do you think that the letters 
MNP came from?  Microcom Networking Protocol!

   Who cares who sells more modems.  If you were to buy products only 
because there were a lot sold then there would be NO innovation!

   Just remember that the National Enquirer sells more papers than the 
Washington Post and the New York Times combined!  Does this make the 
National Enquirer better!!! (Lotus and Ashton Tate are another example... :)
