From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Rockwell Protocol Interface (RPI) A cost-cutting feature of some {modem}s allowing data {compression} and {error correction} (e.g. {ITU-T} {V.42bis}, {V.42}) to be provided in software instead of hardware. Usually an RPI modem comes with RPI-aware software (e.g. the low-end RPI models of Supra come with the {COMit} which supports RPI, providing {MNP} 2,4,5,7, V.42 and V.42bis). RPI is not supported by many commercial packages nor by current releases of popular {shareware} communication programs ({Telix} v3.22 and {Telemate} v4.12). {ProComm Plus} for {Windows 2.0} will support RPI. Currently {Rockwell} produce two classes of RPI chip set. The original is capable of 2400 bit/s data, 9600 bit/s class 1-only fax. The newer one is capable of 14400 bit/s data/fax. Currently there are no RPI chipset from Rockwell supporting speeds higher than 14400 bit/s. (1994-07-01)
