Recently I have seen an add in BYTE for a internal (IBM) modem with MNP level 5 software. It was for the unbelievable price of 99 dollars. I called the vendor who of course claims these are excellent modems. The Manufacturer is PC Works, but I assume they OEM them. We support MNP at Cal Poly and have had good success with it however the modems I buy are VENTEL's and cost about 400. Does anyone have experience with these PC Works modems ? If so, in what environment and do you know if they support the "break" function ? Ralph Nicovich Network Engineering Cal Poly State University, SLO

I believe that this is an MNP capable terminal program and a cheap modem. Please note that I am not in any way claiming that this is a bad deal. I thought there was a public domain MNP 3 package around and would love to sahre it with users if I could find it. -- bill davidsen (wedu@crd.GE.COM) {uunet | philabs}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
