That's not how you want to do it.  VMODEM is for creating a "virtual modem" 
so a standard comm program can act as a telnet client.  Make sure you have 
SIO.SYS properly configured for a virtual modem in CONFIG.SYS (eg, 
DEVICE=D:\SIO\SIO.SYS (2,2F8,10) (4:115200,,,-) (COM3,INTERNET,NONE) to use 
COM3 as a virtual com port) then put a "START D:\SIO\VMODEM" line in your 
/tcpip/bin/tcpstart.cmd file.  Configure your comm program to use the virtual 
com port (eg, COM3 in the example) and when you reboot, you're all set.
