subject: REL vs ARQ connects

IS> Depends on the modem brand, but /REL usually refers to an MNP4

 SL> /REL-2   =  MNP-2

 SL> /REL-10  =  MNP-10

Quite so.  I should have said generic Rockwell-based modems, using the
common Rockwell 'solution' firmware.  Netcomms (Microcoms, Dataplex 225 and
various others that use their own code with a Rockwell DSP) do things
differently.
