Hi,
I've seen this on a couple of newer models. At least, I
think it's the same thing you're referring to. These models
had a extra Tab labeled DOS under the Modem Properties in
Device Manager. The settings were similar to capturing a
printer port. So, under the DOS tab you would see your current
port/IRQ & a box to check for DOS emulation. Following, would
be port/IRQ settings to be assigned by the user for the emulation.
You would simply assign standard addressing that DOS programs
would recognize, i.e. com2/IRQ3.

hope this helps
