The major benefit of MNP is not thruput (at least until level 5) but
reliability. For uucp this means having the login line in L.sys *work*
on a noisy line. Interactively it means not get random characters every
few seconds. What level MNP do your contacts run? There's no reason to
run level 5 if they only go level 3.
