Problem

Solutions: MNP - Microcom Networking Protocol: Essentially, MNP is a special error correction protocol for the transfer of data. The protocol is implemented not through software but as an integral part of the modem, i.e., hardware. The Microcom Networking Protocol was developed by Microcom to serve as an industry standard for high-speed, error-free communications.

Modems that have MNP capabilities support common standards including Bell 103, 212A, CCITTV.22, V.22 bis, and V.29FT. In other words, all modem speeds from 300 to 9600 baud. There are six different classes of MNP modems.

One of the problems encountered using MNP modems at any of the 6 classes is determining the particular class of MNP at which it is operating. Also keep in mind that for MNP to successfully work, both the sending modem and the modem you are connected to must have some form of MNP. This definition was taken from the public domain program named PC-Glossary.
