   This went by on the net a few months ago, but I've forgotten. Is MNP
level 5 simply hardware error-correction or is it also 2:1 compression?
   More importantly, how common is it now? Is it likely to be more
common in the future? Is it worth spending $165 (minus selling my
current modem) to get it (no increase in speed, just MNP)?
   Thanks in advance.
