I have, the one on this machine, though I am using it in Linux at
the moment. My modem is an Actiontec PCI call-waiting modem and
the machine dual-boots DR-DOS and Mandrake Linux. The modem is
currently on IRQ 11 and IOPORT 0xdc00. Works fine with the CHAT
program from DOSPPPD, and thus with Arachne.
I set up the IRQ by hand in the BIOS (no plug-n-pray operating
system, blah blah blah). The modem comes with a DOS utility that
tells me what IRQ, IOPORT it is using. I don't know if this will
work with other modems. Ralf Brown has a utility that might help
to find out where the modem is:

Then you just specify "non-standart" modem in Arache modem
wizard, and put in the appropriate values for IRQ and IOPORT.
