Using the Cardinal 2400MNP & 2450MNP with FLASHlink
              ---------------------------------------------------

         FLASHlink has been designed as a powerful communications
         package supporting MNP.  FLASHlink supports both MNP modems
         (hardware MNP) and Hayes AT command compatible non-MNP modems
         (software MNP).

         A hardware MNP modem, such as the Cardinal 2400MNP or 2450MNP,
         places greater requirements on the communications software
         than a non-MNP modem.  These additional requirements
         include the following:

              - Auto baud adjust DISABLE.  The data link between the
                PC and the modem must be higher than the modem's
                connect rate.  For the modem to compress the data
                being transmitted, achieving a higher throughput, it
                must be able to get the data from the PC at higher
                rates.  With the Cardinal 2400MNP & 2450MNP modems, 
                the data link with the PC should be at 9600 bps.

              - Hardware handshake must be enabled.  When the data
                link and the modem connect rate differ, it is necessary
                to have a handshake between the two to prevent the
                modems data buffer from overflowing.

              - Efficient file transfer protocol.  Ymodem-G is a
                protocol that is designed to be used with MNP.  When
                operating in the error free environment provided by
                MNP, it is not necessary to use a file transfer
                protocol with error correction built in.  In fact
                protocols such as Xmodem and Ymodem tend to operate
                slower in the MNP environment.

         To use FLASHlink with the Cardinal 2400MNP & 2450MNP modems
         the following setup should be performed:

              SETUP MENU

                Dial Prefix:      AT\N3\Q3\C1\V1\J0DT
                Modem Setup:      AT&F&C1&D2&S1
                   :
                   :
                Dial Level MNP:   Y
                Answer Level MNP: Y
                Auto Baud Adjust: OFF
                Flow Control:     CTS/RTS


              DIALING MENU

                  Name    Number Log MNP  Setting
                .......  ........ .   Y  9600,.....
