ATLANTA, GA, 18 May 1992 -- Hayes Microcomputer Products, Inc.
|
|||
|
|
today announced Hayes OPTIMA 144 + FAX144, a data + fax modem that
|
|||
|
|
supports CCITT V.32 bis and CCITT V.42 bis for data throughput of up to
|
|||
|
|
57,600 bit/s and CCITT Group 3 Fax standard V.17 for 14,400 bit/s. In
|
|||
|
|
addition, Hayes also announced Hayes OPTIMA 144, a data modem that
|
|||
|
|
supports CCITT V.32 bis and CCITT V.42 bis.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hayes OPTIMA 144 + FAX144, available for an estimated retail
|
|||
|
|
<S>topprie of US$519 and CDN$699, comes bundled with free Smartcom FAX
|
|||
|
|
communications software and Smartcom EZ data communications software.
|
|||
|
|
Smartcom FAX is a TSR program that allows users to fax documents directly
|
|||
|
|
from their computer, as well as receive fax messages and then view,
|
|||
|
|
rotate, flip, print or save to disk. Smartcom FAX also keeps detailed
|
|||
|
|
Transaction Logs in files on disk, so that both send and receive fax
|
|||
|
|
activities may be viewed at any time.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OPTIMA 144, a cost-effective, high-speed data modem, is designed
|
|||
|
|
for users whose applications do not require fax communications.
|
|||
|
|
OPTIMA 144 comes packaged with free Smartcom EZ communications software
|
|||
|
|
for an estimated retail price of US$479 and CDN$649.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OPTIMA 144 and OPTIMA 144 + FAX144 supports CCITT V.32 bis
|
|||
|
|
(14,400 bit/s), CCITT V.32 (9600 bit/s), V.22 bis (2400 bit/s) and V.22
|
|||
|
|
(1200 bit/s), as well as industry standards 103 (300 bit/s) and 212A (1200
|
|||
|
|
bit/s) for data communications. These modems communicate asynchronously
|
|||
|
|
and synchronously, and support Hayes AutoSync, a standard Smartmodem
|
|||
|
|
feature that allows the system's asynchronous communications port to
|
|||
|
|
transmit data synchronously, eliminating the need for an SDLC or Bisync
|
|||
|
|
card. These products, which are manufactured in Norcross, Ga., will be
|
|||
|
|
available in the Americas Region, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico,
|
|||
|
|
Argentina, Chile and Venezuela in third quarter 1992.

"Sending or receiving fax messages around the world without
|
|||
|
|
leaving your computer is no longer just another convenience in businesses
|
|||
|
|
today for many applications it is an essential part of communications,"
|
|||
|
|
said Hayes President Dennis C. Hayes. "Now no matter what your needs are,
|
|||
|
|
you have everything in one modem asynchronous or synchronous data
|
|||
|
|
communications as well as fax capabilities. With OPTIMA 144 you have the
|
|||
|
|
advantage of additional cost savings for the highest standardized speed
|
|||
|
|
available for PC modem communications."

|||
|
|
|
