sorry to barge in with an off-topic message, but V.X can be the speed,
and that is DEFINITLY a Rockwell chip change, while V.42(bis) and MNP up
to level 7 are 2nd OSI layer and up, MNP10 concerns layer 1, and DOES
require hardware support, as it needs to controll amplitude and frequency
corections that are NOT controllable outside the Rockwell controller.
