I never initialize the COM port with the MODE command under DOS. I am able to
access COM4 as 0x2e8 and get the appropriate speed for a 56 K modem. I use
115200 as the speed for dialup Internet connection, which works with DOS (both
DR & MS), OS/2 Warp 4 and Linux. OS/2 requires a CONFIG.SYS statement to
recognize a modem on COM3 or COM4. Linux, as far as I know, requires a
setserial command.

Finding a new 28.8 K modem might be very difficult. A used 28.8, or a leftover
new one that wasn't sold, should be very cheap. This is becoming increasingly
true for 33.6 K as well.
Ricsi, what is SoupGate-Win32? A Win32 version of the DOS program?
