Where Are The Founders Of The Dial-Up Revolution?

RIMBoy writes "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently tracked down the founders behind the dial-up modem revolution. The founders of Hayes Micromodem set the standard with their AT Command set. While Dennis Hayes finds himself inducted into the Computer Industry Hall of Fame, at the same time he is broke (with a stop as a bar owner) and trying to find the next big thing. Dale Heatherington cashed out early and has dedicated himself to several projects, including ham radio."

Hayes? Bah!

All I remember about Hayes is that the one and only item I purchased from them came with a manufacturers rebate that I never received. The only time ever that I've not gotten a rebate back.

Of course that was back in the early 56k days when Hayes was about to go under. And it's no wonder if they treated their customers like that!
