Subject: Is 2400 baud mnp class 5 worth it for interact work?

I am trying to decide if I should spend US$160 for an MNP class 5
modem. I will use it mostly for interactive work over a phone line.

I now use a 2400 modem with out MNP, and have okay luck. My line noise is low
but not zero (spurious character about 1 in 100 at worst, 1 in 500 at best.)

Has anybody recently gone to MNP and able to comment on the speedup I should
expect? I expect the modem connection to be the limiting factor (On one end,
a 286 running kermit terminal emulator, on the other end, TXA0, a terminal line
on the vax.)

Thanks in advance
