Write your reply.

assistant: Barry,
  You did hear from Hayes support in this echo.  I sent the following to
you on 12/15, basically if you have the OPTIMA Business modem you can
ignore the ATi3 results posted on the page for the ACCURA and just use
the Optima Business modem loader. Never mind the 'HK', I checked and
all US units have that as well I believe:
"The ATi3 result posted on the 56K beta page refers to the ACCURA rather
than the new code for the OPTIMA.  Keep in mind however that these
flashes are for US units only.  The 'HK' in your results would seem to
indicate you have an asia pacific unit?
laes.
