There is a commercial package which does this (MNP to level 5).
Called FLASHLINK, it implements a simple, well-behaved Procomm-like
comms package for PC ccompatibles with ordinary Hayes AT compatible
modems.  It also supports a dialling directory, file transfer
(Ymodem-G), logon scripts, etc.  It works fine when dialling my
BBS which has a USRobotics HST.

It is written by MagicSoft (I don't have the address here), and
has been bundled by Cardinal with their card modems.
