   The maker of your modem is full of it.  For example, the Practical Peripher
als 2400 MNP 5 modem works great on a friend's GS.  I don't think MNP, if
the modem is designed right, has anything to do with the interface. It should
all be transparent.
   The 9600 baud modems with MNP 5 I've seen also all work fine on a GS.
