The chat program that is part of dospppd knows how to talk to a pci modem, so anything that can use an emulated ethernet pppd connection should work. I have arachne working with an Actiontec pci call waiting modem on a machine running DR-DOS 7.2, and the ftp and telnet programs from CUTCP also work fine. I believe lspppd can also talk to a pci modem, though I haven't tried it. The only problem you might have is finding out the ioport and irq that the modem is using. My actiontec came with a diagnostic program...but there are others, one of which is by Ralf Brown (yes, he of the interrupt list, look on his web page). Otherwise, I have not found any legacy dos software that will work. I used to use Wordperfect and Bananacom, but they are no-goes. They expect comports and ioports to be only in the old dos serial port ranges. I also tried the comport tools package, without success.
