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,

Andrew
