There are a couple things you can try.  First, if there are jumpers on
the modem for com port and irq make sure you have them set correctly.

If you have and OS/2 still doesn't recognize it, reboot with full
hardware detect and then look at the Hardware Manager.  Find out what
hexadecimal port address the modem is using, and what irq.  If these
aren't reflected in the hardware manager, bring up an OS/2 window and
type:

rmview/dc |more

then scroll through all of the details until you find the modem and
write down the port address and irq.  Next you can revise your com.sys
line in your config.sys file like this:

device=x:\os2\boot\com.sys (n,addr,irq)

n=com port
addr=port address
irq=irq

So if you want com3 at port address 3E8H to use irq 7, then type:

x:\os2\boot\com.sys (3,3E8,7)

This should work as long as nothing else is using this address and irq.
