Is OS/2 similar to Win95 in that Win95 almost requires the modem to be on 
Com1 or it can't be recognized easily? If this is the case, that could be the 
problem.
I run all my modems under DOS 5.0 except one, which is on my wife's computer 
using Win98, Beta3. And when I flashed the modem, I shutdown Win98 to MSDos 
to do the flash. I didn't go to a DOS window under Win98.

You might try booting from a DOS only floppy and see how it does that way.. I 
know WIN9x can be cantankerous about running anything in a DOS box. OS/2 
might be similar.
