I recently purchased the IBM 28.8 V.34 Fax/Voice/Modem & Wave table
soundcard combo, at a great price ($89.99), but found that there is no
Win95 support. It does come with software for Win 3.x, which works
somewhat with Win95, but very inconsistently.

Does anyone know if Win95 OSR2 supports this card? Or are there
drivers out there available for win95?

First, your return address (see above) is almost certainly illegal.
Please fix it.

Second, depending upon the specific model, there may or may not be
drivers. If it's a "genuine" Multimedia Modem Plus from IBM, I don't
believe there are Win95 drivers, though I'm not positive. If (much
more likely given the price you paid) it's one of the gaggle of
"clone" Mwave boards, chances are it'll work with the Win95 drivers
for the Dynalink board. Those can ordinarily be downloaded from the
Mwave web site at http://watson.mbb.sfu.ca, but that site's been down
for the past few weeks, and I don't know when it'll be up again. I
don't know if Dynalink has an official site up yet, though I know they
did have an unofficial site a few months ago.

The Taskmaster PRO IBM mwave card has win95 drivers.
It's setup is generic (ie using entirely IBM mwave dsp drivers) and a
lousy telephony program on top of that. It comes on a CD-rom though.
