Also that MNP didn't work too well with systems like UUCP for which transparency (no in-band flow control) are more important than error rate. Sounds to me like X.PC is a winner although if it requires new terminal equipment it won't be available in as many places as quickly. -- The number of California lottery tickets sold is greater than the number of people in the United States of America.
