[Hai-users] PC Access Again!

[Andrew Comstock]

Thank you to everyone who offered assistance in configuring a modem for
local and remote access of an Aegis/Omni system.  As a company, we have
decided to no longer support this method of programming and system access.
I have spent hours attempting to connect with various computers (in the last
year we have had many customers upgrade their computer to find that PCAccess
no longer works).

When I fisrt began installing HAI products in 1997, I was amazed at the
telephone interface and the ability to use a dial-up modem to access the
system from anywhere in the home.  It is ironic that one of my favorite
features has become my most hated.

I respect that HAI has made significant improvements, offering a standard
serial port and the ethernet connections, however, I find myself taking the
Microsoft approach - sorry, we no longer support that, you'll have to
upgrade.  It doesn't make happy customers; trust me.  If only they had known
to keep that old, outdated clunker of a computer.  It would have allowed
them access to their modern sophisticated home mangement system, everthing
would be fine.
