[comp.dcom.modems] MNP Protocols: Query

kevmeyer@images.cs.und.ac.za (Kevin Meyer) (06/20/91)

Hi,

 One always hears about MNP error correction protocols, 
 but can anyone tell me exactly what they are and how 
 they are implemented?
  Questions include : Can any of the Levels be simulated
 in software ( Programming the 8250 UART etc)?
  Are there any hardware devices that sit between the 
  modem and the PC that implement MNP ?
 
 Along the same vein, does anyone know of any good modem
 chip ( chip sets), I only know of the Intel 89024 chip set
 but apparently it is not that reliable, I shall have to see 
 once I have assembled my board.

Any algorithms will be appreciated.

Please send responses back to me rather than posting replies.

 Thanks,
  Kevin.
