Hayes demos $300 DSL modem

At the ComNet trade show this week, Hayes (HAYZ) joined the parade of vendors showing off DSL (digital subscriber line) products for high-speed Internet and data access.

Hayes said it demonstrated prototype DSL hardware that allows download speeds at full DSL rates of up to 6 mbps over existing copper phone lines. That's about 100 times faster than dial-up modems, which
deliver data at no faster than 56 kbps.

The networking hardware, in the form of a small circuit board that plugs into a PC, will work with DSL technology from Alcatel (ALA). In turn, Alcatel's technology is being installed in central office equipment used by Ameritech, BellSouth, Pacific Bell, and Southwestern Bell. Hayes expects to begin delivery of the networking hardware by the second quarter of 1998.
