Brian,

It looks as if this is the case, although Windows 95 and 3.11 seem to
configure the modem in a different way to each other.  If I reboot after
configuring the modem in Windows 3.11, the BIOS and OS/2 can see
COM port 3 on IRQ 5. Windows 95 doesn't do that.

Maybe that's the only way it will work - I'll have to boot up into Windows
3.11 then reboot into OS/2.  I don't use Win/OS2 although I might have to!
It annoying because I would like to delete the partition containing Windows
3.11 to make room for OS/2 Warp 4 (I'm currently running version 3).

I'm not going to get Warp 4 until I can get the modem to work.
I suppose the other alternative is to change the modem, but it's only six
months old!
