   There are some people (myself included) that have to use SIO2K to get VMODEM    
   working.  VMODEM from SIO 1.60d crashes with an error in POPUPLOG.OS2    
   immediately upon startup.

   Apparently it's an issue where the older VMODEM.EXE calls a function in    
   TCP32DLL that is broken or missing in some versions of TCP/IP for OS/2.  I've    
   never managed to figure out exactly what version of TCP/IP for OS/2 you need    
   to have for VMODEM 1.60d to work.   
      
   Regards,
