It does. But that's not the issue.

The issue is PCI modems need a specific driver in order to use these ports.
For instance my Lucent modem uses " serial controller port1
IRQ4", but  that is emulated by ltmdmos2.sys to com2 IRQ9. It's that
what the apps have to see and have to work with. 

I really hope Kenn Y. can tell me how to force Faxworks to use com2 IRQ9.

Sio2k.sys was meant to be  developed to a general purpose driver, but that
can't happen anymore alas. 

And of course, as you have already noticed, notebooks don't have these
ancient type of serial port anymore, and no doubt "normal" mobo
will follow anytime soon.

Has anyone already succeeded in activating the internal modem at the
Thinkpad T4* series?
