Usually an RPI modem comes with RPI-aware software (e.g. thelow-end RPI models of Supra come with the COMit whichsupports RPI, providing MNP 2,4,5,7, V.42 and V.42bis). RPIis not supported by many commercial packages nor by currentreleases of popular shareware communication programs(Telix v3.22 and Telemate v4.12). ProComm Plus forWindows 2.0 will support RPI.
