Having been a reader of net news for some time now, I have noticed that it normally appears as if most of the comments made about a manufactuer tend to be a slight bit on the negative side and I believe that when someone shows Exceptional support or service that that company should be congratulated. I believe Control Systems of St. Paul Minnesota is one of those rare companies whom deserve some praise. Recently some problems with my serial port "hanging" was beginning to find it's way to a possible defect in the hardware, maybe. There was no way for me to really determine this. I called Control Systems Support and initially they wanted to have me mail in my multiport card to have them examine it for the possible flaw that I felt might exist. I explained to them how it would be very difficult for myself to be without this device for any time and Control Systems (without question) offered to send me a new card (free) examine it, and that if performance improved to simply keep the new card and return the old one. Not only did they ship me the card, but they called to get my system's configuration and set all the dip switches in advance and "burned it" the new unit a second time before they shipped it. This unit was in use for almost six months by this time. I felt that this was service above and beyond what any manufactuer need supply and that because of this that Control Systems deserves an applause. -- Steven Goodman | Lake Systems Milwaukee, Wisconsin | "A smart man talks, 1 (414) 744-7033 | a wise man listens" UUCP: {ihnp4,uwvax}!uwmcsd1!lakesys!steven |
