Um, Everex is a U.S. company based in California.  And yes, they do
more than assemble parts invented elsewhere -- they design and
manufacture their own motherboards and some of their expansion cards
and peripherals; other expansion cards and peripherals are OEM'd from
another manufacturer.  (They use Seagate hard drives and Wangtek tape
drives, for example.)  However, if you look at an Everex STEP
computer, you'll certainly find more than just a "Joe's Garage" clone.

I think their modems are based on the Rockwell chipset, though.  (As
are just about every other clone modem.  The Practical Peripherals
modems, interestingly enough, use the Rockwell chipset [at least in
the 2400bps and 9600bps modems], even though PPI is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hayes.  Hmm...)
