Can anyone out there in Netland help with a problem I'm having with my modem? I
have a MNP5 with v.42 and am wondering if I need a special cable to get these
features working with my Mac SE?

I'm currently using my old cable from my 1200 baud modem and, although the
modem functions fine at plain-Jane 2400 baud, I cannot seem to get it to work
as an error correcting MNP5 modem.

I recall reading somewhere that I should be using a cable that supports more
than the three pins provided by most cables but would like some confirmation of
this and suggestions as to where I might buy a proper cable. Local Apple
dealers have been no help whatsoever.
