Responding to the following:
 
"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 believe you need a cable that supports hardware handshaking. Just ask for
a Macintosh modem cable for V.32 modems that supports Hardware Handshaking
at your local dealer, I guess.
