Back in the Windows 9x days, if you wanted your DOS BBS to be able to use telnet, there were hoops then, too, that didn't always work, especially if your DOS BBS liked talking to the modem on a hardware level.  The windows emulators didn't offer that function, and the emulator authors of the day didn't seem too interested in adding it.

Luckily, VMODEM for OS/2 did emulate a hardware modem properly.
