Disable MNP5 only - MNP4 (error correction) is not a problem, and all
you'll get with some older modems.  On generic Rockwells it's %C2 to allow
V.42bis but not MNP5.  You could do it like you say, or you could put that
in NVRAM, and add (your equivalent of) %C3 to your answer string; same
difference.

It's not very common to run into MNP5 mail sessions these days, anyway ..
