USB COM4

[vjp...@at.biostrategist.dot.dot.com]

Will a DOS program find COM4 if the USB USR modem says it is on COM4?

What about DOSBOX?

Not in real DOS (ie just DOS with no other OS running).
At least not without some very clever DOS drivers which, as far as I know,
don't exist.

Maybe.
I think it depends on how the DOS program is written, but in my experience
there's a pretty good chance of it working pretty well.
