That's correct.  SETMODEM.EXE thinks OS/2 is Windows 95 and stops.
I have tried to fool it, but that just causes a crash.
The only thing I can think of is to try and figure out how SETMODEM works
and write my own routine.
I think WinOS2 will have the same problem.  SETMODEM is a DOS routine
that runs in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file before Windows loads up. It seems to
inform the BIOS that there is a COM port on COM3,  IRQ5,  I/O3E8 although
these settings can be changed.
Windows 95 doesn't inform the BIOS. If the computer is rebooted, there is no
mention of COM3.

Pete
