     This is MNP's fault, not the 3b1's or the Trailblazer's. 
Before I got my Trailblazer, I experimented with mixing
Multitech 224E's and other modems.  Autoreliable mode is simply
braindamaged.  It disables Unix PC OBM's, USR Courier's, and
other random modems.

     I finally gave up and I never use MNP any more.  Behavior
may vary slightly with Trailblazers, but the real problem is a
design flaw in MNP.
