I've been experimenting with MNP5 to several of our host computers, and
I've noticed that there doesn't seemt to be enough compression to stop
the output from being choppy at 4800 bps when reading news.  However,
when working with our mainframe, which likes to output in all caps,
the choppiness seems to be a good deal less.  I remember that there are
people out there who are familiar witht the MNP5 scheme--is it really
compressing more on all-caps?  This would be a useful thing to know.
