[comp.sys.mac.hardware] PP 9600 Modem

kpmiller@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu (Kent P Miller) (02/07/91)

Has anyone tried the Practical Peripherial 9600 baud modem that's advertised
by Mac Connection for $489?

It does v.32 and v.42bis, does anyone know if it does MNP-5 too?

V.42bis includes MNP-5.

Nope-- V.42bis compliant modems must include MNP-4, but not necessarily
MNP-5. (MNP-5 has compression, MNP-4 does not)

My mistake.  You are right.

The Practical Peripherals 9600SA does, however, handle MNP-5.
