This is *extremely* suspicous. The very nature of V.42 (and the fact
that _just_ the patent license for the protocol amount to > $60K)
implies a price tag much higher! MNP is a different matter. What they
*might* be saying is that it runs the "V.42 MNP level 5", but not
V.42 itself. There is a big difference.
I would call and ask first!
