In some sense X.PC and MNP must compete. They both do error correction
for data sent by modems over phone lines. MNP is offered by several
modem manufacturers, and can be used with dumb terminals (and dumb
computers if you use an MNP modem on the computer end).

It is my impression that no modem manufacturer offers X.PC implemented
in the modem. It is intended to run with a PC that will implement the
protocol.

Is that correct?
