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?
