- Hi,
-
- Hope this is the right group for such a question, and I dont
- think its a FAQ, so ...
-
- "MTE is supposed to implement MNP upto level 4 in software, and
- lets your plain modem talk to a MNP modem in MNP." The read.me claims
- something to this effect. [MTE is in procyon.cis.ksu.edu]
-
- My questions ...
-
- +----------------
- 1. Is not MNP in a HDLC like *synchronous* packet format ?
- How can a lowly async 8250 and async 2400 modem do MNP ?
- or am I mistaken in understanding that a lowly PC and a lowly modem can
- run MTE ?
- 2. Have you used MTE ... works ? How well ?
- +-----------------
-
- PLease email me (shri@legato.cs.umass.edu), since I dont read this
- group too often ... and many thanx in advance.
