We've been using MultiTech  MultiModem 224's.   They've  been fine as
far as I can tell.  I do get line noise problems periodically.  I can
usually call the computer back and get a clean line.  

I am very curious about these error correction schemes.  We are about
to go out in a big way  and upgrade  all our  modems to  MNP (The new
MultiTech's support MNP).  But I read a rumor on the net  that MNP is
NOT transparent, that you can not use it with uucp  or with terminals
that use XON / XOFF protocols!  If this is true, I don't  know if MNP
is worth anything.  

We are paying $525 for the multitech's  with MNP,  about $465 without
MNP.  

The other protocal that seems to be talked about is X.PC supported by
Microsoft and I think Hayes.  I  would love  to hear  some reports by
people  who  have  had  experience  with  these  protocols  in a unix
environment.
