I suspect that you mean "MNP". If not ignore the rest of this
message. MNP is an industry standard method of error detection
and correction (EDAC). It is in a number of different standard
levels. Level three, used by many modems such as the MultiTech
224e, detects errors and requests resend. Higher levels, such as
six, actually embed error correcting info, like Hamming codes,
in the data sent.

If someone has more info on this please expand on what I just
said.
