It was also my understanding that MNP was supposed to have invisible
negotiations.  I had a certain amount of grief with an MNP modem calling
a non-mnp modem, where the device attached to the non-mnp modem would
print an error message and hang up if it didn't get a correctly typed
password directly after connecting.  What it was receiving was something
like (octal) 377 375 after CD came up.  I had to turn off the 
auto-reliable mode (MNP) to prevent this from happening.
