How about Linux? Or would it be a better idea to run the modems on the
Linux box (I hope not, as the box I have in mind is a PS/2, and already
has OS/2 Warp 3 on it, I don't want to have to deal with trying to get
Linux running on a PS/2)

BTW, what happens when a DOS program wants to acces a COM port and
another task or system is using it?
