OT** From C/Net: Hayes hedges bets on modems By Jim Davis March 13, 1997, 11:30 a.m. PT Hayes Microcomputer Products will now sell 56-kbps modems based on technology from U.S. Robotics (USRX) through a subsidiary company. Hayes, to date, has supported only the competing Rockwell standard. The move may indicate a lack of confidence in the ability of Rockwell Semiconductor (ROK) to deliver its competing 56-kbps modem technology on time. The Hayes subsidiary, Practical Peripherals, will sell the x2 modems. Hayes, the second largest modem maker in the marketplace, has until now said it would only back Rockwell's competing 56-kbps modem technology called K56flex. But Hayes will now be able to hedge its bets on who wins the 56-kbps standards battle by selling modems that use U.S Robotics' technology. U.S Robotics is currently the largest modem maker, with approximately one-third of the domestic market. If the majority of consumers buy into x2 technology, online service providers will be forced to do so as well, giving it a windfall in licensing fees.
