It was with some surprise that I found out recently that Hayes
owns Practical Peripherals. This got me to wondering. Who else among the
bargain basement vendors is owned by one of the quality vendors with
an image to protect?

Hayes recently acquired the assets of Waterloo Microsystems, a PC LAN software company that used to sell a DOS semi-compatible network OS called PORT. Hayes stated that they will not be selling the existing products "as is". -- # Hugh D. Gamble, NTT Systems Inc. (at DCIEM (416) 635-2156) Std.
