I've been using the unbeatable Prentice PopCom X100,and I have no doubt as to
it's supriority over any other modem I had used (Hayes,Avatex,Dowty 2400) or
been arround (Prometheus,Courier).I don't know what it is that has this one
supressing line-noise so perfect.I was almost tempted several times to
upgrade to a 2400 modem,but no demonstration yet had convinced me the xtra
speed is worth the loss of line clarity.

BTW,could someone explain what  MNP *LEVEL* means? Does a higher MNP
level mean fewer errors?
