There is a shareware Win9x utility called ViP, which allows DOS
programs to access a Windows-only communications device under
Win 9x. These include Winmodems, USB modems, and PCI modems.

I thought DOS programs running in a DOS window under Win9x or NT were already
able to access a Winmodem without shareware utility. But anybody buying a new
computer or new modem is naturally better off getting a real modem. PCI does
not make a modem Windows-only; a PCI modem with full hardware can run from Linux
or other non-Windows. Actiontec is one example:
