The MWAVE modem function requires some dynamic microcode to be loaded on
the fly, i.e. it will require a special device driver which hasn't been
written yet. I've heard the sound function works if warm booted from DOS
but thats cause no dynamic code has to be loaded. You could try getting
DOSEMU and seeing if you could get it working the DOS side, but I'm afraid
you're out of luck.
