I recently bought a nice 2400 baud modem with level 5 MNP support only to
discover that the Apple II series will (according to the modem manual) NOT
support level 5 MNP modem protocol because of the lack of ability to do 
hardware handshaking with the modem.  Looking at some of the Apple manuals
like the Super Serial Card,etc  it in fact doesn;t seem that Apple II's 
support the RTS and CTS pins on RS-232 connections, not at least with the
SSC.  But in reading further, it seems that the RTS pin is sometimes 
used for hardware handshaking with some printers.  Being a neophyte in 
communications, I was wondering if anyone out there in Appledom has in 
use a modem which supports level 5 MNP ?  Can you use level 5 ? Or more 
generally can anyone help me out here... surely with all these smart 
people out there (:-) on the net, there is someone who has experience
in this realm.  
 
I would be most appreciative of any help, thanks.
