Can someone who DOESN'T have MNP10 but DOES have MNP4 and MNP5 try calling
03-9388-1547 and see what sort of connect you get? If you get an MNP5
connect, can you disable MNP5 and see if you get an MNP4 connect.

One of my Netcomm problems has been circumvented...

11. I am unable to connect to the following system with MNP, whilst
others can.  The other end is using an Interlink Fastbit IIbis.
Note that I called with a Spirit Viper and had no problem.  Someone
else called with an M34F, and they connected fine (got MNP10).

See DAVID.TXT for someone else with an M34F who can connect OK.

NOTE!!!  With the new init string and the 2.72 rom, the problem
did NOT occur.  However, the problem DOES occur if I use %c2.  I
use %c2 normally because I am happy to connect with MNP4, but not
MNP5, since MNP5 is slower than MNP4 on already-compressed data,
which is all I ever send/receive.

[problem occurred with 2.61 rom]
[problem reproduced with 2.70 rom]
[problem reproduced (see above) with 2.72 rom]
