The modem was used successfully with our software which uses the
Communications Toolbox. It did have some difficulty with dropping
carrier when the DTR line was dropped, but I think that was simply a
configuration problem. The modem was only available as a serial port
device in the CommToolbox, but it did work. This was accomplished with
an INIT that spoofed the serial manager for the card. I am not
certain of the implications for simultaneous use of the modem port, but
I got the idea that the two could not be used simultaneously.

I agree they should direct their attention to full CTB support, but
the modem does work to a degree.
