(NYSE: BAY) recently earned Infoworld's top rating of 'three champagne-glasses' for its detailed information on Year 2000 issues on the company's web site. To assist its customers and field sales force in understanding and assessing the looming Year 2000 challenges, Bay Networks has developed comprehensive information resources on its web site. This includes information on Bay Networks' Product Compliance Policy, strategy and test plan, product readiness test results, and answers to some frequently asked questions.

In addition, for products that do not meet this criteria, the vendor must outline the upgrade path so that the product works with post-1999 dates. "Bay Networks is very pleased with the recognition we've received for our ongoing Year 2000 efforts," said Bill Hawe, vice president of architecture, Bay Networks. "Bay Networks is committed to helping customers deal with the Year 2000 challenge and making sure that our products are Year 2000 compliant."
