Sure hope someone can help me...... I recently bought a Digitan HI-IQ 2400 MNP-5 int modem, but the instructions being what they are, I can't figure out the following: 1) When do you tell the modem to go to MNP-5? The booklet shows the code to be AT\n3, but do I do that before I do the ATDT etc. or after? 2) I've tried various settings but I keep getting garbage. Also, I'm using Telix v3.12, and the mnp-5 is hardware. I tried to log on to PBs, as they advertise full support of mnp, v.32 and v.42, but all I got was garbage until I set everything back to normal.(no MNP). 3) Does anyone know which of the major bbs' (compuserve, etc) support mnp? Sorry for wasting bandwidth. Bill V. e-mail @ billv@sirius.nova.edu

Select the mode that has a name closely resembling "auto-reliable"; if you select "error-free", your modem may refuse to connect with other modems! > 2) I've tried various settings but I keep getting garbage. That sounds like a port speed problem. In order to achieve highest possible performance, you can tell your modem that it shall communicate with your PC at a fixed speed (usually 9600 bps for 2400MNP modems) regardless of the connect speed. In its "Modem and Dialing" menu (ALT-O, M), Telix gives you the option of matching the reported connect speed or not (option M). You may chose not to lock your communication speed (I suggest that you do) but, either way, your modem's configuration and Telix' must be the same, or one will switch speeds when the other doesn't, resulting in garbage on your screen, even in a good connect.
