Why will the WinModem work if I click on "Restart in MS-DOS mode", but it
will not work in a "DOS-box", nor will it work from the F8 > "Command
prompt only" method of accessing DOS? Does anybody know the answer?

Windows is ill-designed, not intended to make sense! Booting from Win 98SE boot
diskette made from file downloaded from http://www.bootdisk.com, a diskette in
my B drive, 5.25" HD, 110 entries in root directory, could not be read, even
though MS-DOS 5 and 6.22, DR-DOS and OS/2 Warp have no trouble with this
diskette. E drive, FAT16 on second hard disk, was "Invalid media" to this
Win 98SE boot diskette and to MS-DOS 6.22 and 5 as well, but OK with DR-DOS and
OS/2 Warp 4.
One computer instructor told me, during the era of Windows 3.0, that Windows was
for somebody who doesn't know how to use a computer, and apparently Windows is
still being used this way. New computer users don't understand what a Winmodem
is, and frequently the specifications just call it a "modem", which is rather
like calling textured vegetable protein meat. New computer users who don't know
better are attracted by the description of a Winmodem as "designed specifically
to take advantage of the Windows operating system", which certainly doesn't
sound like a crippled modem. Winmodem is part of Bill Slobodan Gates' ethnic
cleansing campaign to force computer users to stay with Windows.
