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
