I have used our 2400VP modems over MIT's old (1920's!) phone system
(they're installing a fancy ISDN setup now...) which can be very noisy
and have had almost no problems with noise at 2400 bps without MNP
being used.  Every once and a while there is an annoying noise burst,
but I'd hardly call it unusable (I usually use MNP now, so I don't 
notice the occasional burst).
