As I understand it, only OS/2 apps will be able to do this
directly. To get Win to do this, you need to add an extra level
of indirection in the form of a VXD, which won't run under Warp.
Stomper (German shareware that allows modem sharing under Windows
and DOS) is an example of how it's done under Swindows.
