#MNP Modems
?
I'm shopping for a new modem. I've been seeing quite a few ads for 2400
bps modems featuring something called 'MNP Level 5'. I know it's some kind
of error checking but I haven't found anything explaining it. My main
questions are:
1) Is the error-checking in hardware or software?
2) Does it REALLY run at 4800 bps in this mode?
3) If it does, what are it's limits? Do is it have to be connected to
another modem with the same feature, or will it work with any
connection?
4) Does it boost the speed of file transfers only, or all communications?
Will it work at 4800 bps with Amiga games such as Falcon & Populous?
I need a modem that will work with both my Amiga and a Messy-DOS machine. I
would appreciate any suggestions for modems along with answers to my
questions.
Thanks,
Richard
