Thanks, Steven.

I did this, and the message on boot is that the USB Serial Driver is
installed as COM2.  I have the hardware COM2 disabled in the BIOS.

mode com2 gives this result:

[C:\]mode com2
baud     = 2400                   parity   = NONE
databits = 8                      stopbits = 1
TO       = OFF                    XON      = OFF
IDSR     = OFF                    ODSR     = OFF
OCTS     = OFF                    DTR      = ON
RTS      = ON                     BUFFER   = N/A

However, the purpose of the exercise was to be able to use PMFax with a
USB-connected modem.  Although PMFax recognizes that it is supposed to use
COM2 to send and receive, it reports that the modem does not respond
correctly when I attempt to send a fax.  If I put the fmd.sys driver in
config.sys, the lights on the modem don't even flash when I send the fax.

If this is an interrupt or I/O address issue, how can I figure out what
the correct interrupt and I/O address are?  They are not shown in the
Hardware Manager, or in the output from rmview /IRQ.
