Ah, the BIOS - The default for COM3 is at 3E8 and IRQ 4, isn't it? Maybe
you need to change your BIOS settings, you seem to be implying that the
modem is only recognised by the BIOS after some utility has been run
(which only runs under Windows 3.11).

Pity the DOS SETMODEM.EXE utility from their web site checks to see if
'Win95' is running, or else you may have been able to run that in a Dos
box in OS2.

What is the reason you don't run WinOS2, out of interest?

There is no mention of the modem on the device driver web site though...
