Quickly: Intel's FAX/MODEM card, SatisFAXtion has no OS/2 support.  Intel does
not seem interested in giving any.

I am able to use the MODEM under OS/2, but only by booting DOS with the
SATISFAX.SYS device in my config.sys, then rebooting OS/2.  Obviously this
is a kludge at best.

Since the device driver doesn't need to modify the operating system, I assume
it's just sending some info to the card to say "Hey!  Act like COM2:!".  It
seems that this should be easy to emulate.

Any suggestions?
