Hayes has implemented a 'dual-mode' V.90/K56flex standards solution into most of its 56K data communications products.
The dual-mode data/fax modems select the best connection based on the technology the Internet Service Provider (ISP) offers.
The modem automatically selects the mode that offers the highest speed and most reliable connection.
''Our priority is to keep our customers from worrying about changes in communication standards or how the ISP will
implement those changes when connected to the Internet,'' said David Blazon, Hayes' Modem Line Product Manager. ''We
designed our communications products to make the modem's adjustment to ISP changes effortless for the user. ''
According to Tom Harvilla, Hayes' remote access product line manager, ''As remote access becomes increasingly essential to
businesses of all sizes, Hayes is on the leading edge of this technology, offering our customers the latest in V.90/K56flex remote
access products at extremely aggressive pricing per port.''
While the newly determined standard provides very specific methods and techniques for communicating at up to 56 kbps,
interoperability between V.90 products is not automatic. Together with other industry leaders, Hayes established the ''V.90
Work Group'' to assure interoperability of V.90 products by leading vendors.
All Hayes 56K modems are upgradable to the V.90 standard at no additional charge. Hayes will offer free V.90 upgrades as a
download from its Web site by June. In order to assist customers with the V.90 transition, users can visit the Hayes Web site at
hayes.com to receive updated information regarding the 56K standard transition.
Hayes will be showcasing its Century 9000 and S/RAS remote access servers in addition to its DSL NIC and V.90 modems at
NetWorld+Interop in Las Vegas, Nevada May 5-7 in booth 3517.

year. Hayes introduced the PC modem with the invention of the Hayes Standard AT Command Set, which allows modems to
