From the FILE_ID.DIZ:

Ray Gwinn's comm drivers for OS/2,
SIO.SYS and VSIO.SYS are replacements of the
OS2 communications drivers COM.SYS and
VCOM.SYS which come with OS/2.  VX00.SYS
provides FOSSIL and virtual 16550 support
for DOS programs SIO can be ordered to
supporting any number of ports.  Vmodem now
has both inbound and outbound Telnet.

Highly recommended, the first OS/2 shareware that I registered.

I'm not sure, perhaps someone else in here knows.

Front Door has both a mailer component and a terminal.  You can choose to use
either or both.
