I've been playing around with a program called LiNK that purports to
implement a level of MNP error-correcting and a companion program called
Turbo2 that is supposed to provide real-time compression/decompression of
data over a conventional modem connection.

I've called a variety of modems -- Multitech, USR and a couple of Telebit
T2500s -- but I haven't been able to initiate MNP of any sort. I'm calling
with a 1200bps modem, using software that I wrote that doesn't do anything
kinky. LiNK consistently reports ``host not responding.'' I had hoped to
find LiNK communicating with firmware MNP. If it only works with other
LiNK systems, it's not worth much.

Has anybody on this net found LiNK useful? Any tips?
