Hey Jon !

My tip is: *don't buy it !*  (If it is the same modem like that,
I bought from Cardinal). My wasn't a MNP modem, but was delivered
with a (buggy and uncomfortable) terminal program which offered
software-emulation of MNP. Resumee: 2400bps modem WITHOUT MNP5,
terminal program WITH give about 4800bps, but totally dependence
from the program (called 'FlashLink')...

Greeting ... thomas
