Hi there... If you're looking for a real good deal, I would
just go ahead and buy an inexpensive 2400 baud NORMAL modem
without MNP error correction.... THEN, there are existing
SOFTWARE MNP emulation programs which work quite well!!
They are shareware and very nice... I am trying out
one that was written in Chicago... It emulates MNP level
5.... If you need more info let me know...
