I have been using a Microcom AX/2400 for about 3 or 4 months and I am very happy with it. The MNP support is flawless. (It should be since MNP is Microcom Network Protocol) It has two modes of operation. The first is Microcom's "SX" mode which has some very nice features such as independant speeds on the RS-232 line and the phone line. This is a blessing for all of those people out there without source since you can set the terminal line speed to 9600 and let the modem take care of the conversion to 300, 1200 or 2400. On most systems that are pre-System V there is baud switch support for 300 and 1200. This mode also has a dialing directory and configuration menus of sorts. i.e. not REAL menus but at least you can check all of the soft switches with 3 commands... The second mode is so far fully Hayes 2400 compatible. One thing to mention is that you will probably find 3 2400 baud modems from Microcom: SX/2400 "SX" mode only.. NO Hayes compatibility ZX/2400 "Hayes" mode + MNP. NO SX features... AX/2400 Both of the above + $200 or so cheaper. It also is replacing both of the above. Also they have 3 more modems that (according to them, I haven't tested them) support 4800, 9600 and 19.2K data rates over standard 2-wire dialup phone lines. They are: AX/2400c Same as regular AX/2400 but does data compression between the serial port and the phone line so that the phone line only sees 2400 baud but the throughput is 4800 baud. AX/9612 Same as regular AX/2400 but does data transfers at 9600 baud. AX/9624c Same as AX/9612 but does data compression between the serial port and the phone line so that the phone line only sees 9600 baud but the throughput is 19.2K baud. I'm not sure about the name of the AX/9612... But I think this is right. Anyway......... If you have any questions lemme know......
