I have a Practical Peripherals PM2400SA MNP/Level 5 external
modem and use MNP with Procomm Plus 2.0.  The MNP is always
active.  I had to get the initialization string from Datastorm
(it turns out some waits "~" have to be in it and I didn't know
about it), but after that I've had no problem.  I suggest
you give Datastorm a call (after all, part of the price of the
Procomm is the support, and I assume you have the number) and
let them help you with it.  They have a database with zillions
of modems covered and a very knowledgable and polite staff.
Later - jham@cs.umr.edu
P.S.  The other thing to do is once you log in change the
parity settings on the fly and see if maybe you can find one
that works - several BBSs I've been on say 8/N/1 and want
7/E/1.
