It's part of the SIO comm driver package.  It allows you to setup a virtual
modem.  This tricks DOS comm programs into thinking that they're using a real
modem on a dial-up line even tho they're being used over the internet.  This
enables me to use Telix for a telnet client and to use a mailer to connect
with another mailer over the net for my echomail feed.
