[mod.telecom] The MNP Spec

S.PAE@DEEP-THOUGHT.MIT.EDU (Philip A. Earnhardt) (07/01/86)

MicroCom has a 50-page public-domain spec of the lower-class levels of MNP.
They charge a publication fee of $100. Does anyone on the east coast already
have a copy of this spec they would let me copy?
[$100 for 50 pages doesn't sound very public-domain to me -elmo]

MicroCom also claims to do much better in minimizing the latency in
sending out a packet. In particular, when they get the first
character, they immediately start shipping the packet header out the
comm line. This sounds much more promising than the 20ms delay Vadic
described. I'll try to get a demo of a full-duplex connection of
MicroCom modems in a couple of weeks.  -------
