Recently I have seen an add in BYTE for a internal (IBM) modem
with MNP level 5 software. It was for the unbelievable price of
99 dollars. I called the vendor who of course claims these are
excellent modems.

The Manufacturer is PC Works, but I assume they OEM them.
We support MNP at Cal Poly and have had good success with it
however the modems I buy are VENTEL's and cost about 400.

Does anyone have experience with these PC Works modems ?

If so, in what environment and do you know if they support
the "break" function ?
