So the NET_RADIO module would be for older cards than that?

I upgraded several X2 hardware modems but never a winmodem.

Or just cardmgr from SW71.

In BL3 if I add bash, needed for the install routine, it works fine.  In 
BL2, last year, we had a buggy version for libc6 (a previous libc6 may 
work better) in which three keys don't work except in X. I am told my 
partner's text editor does not work properly in dosemu, but it makes a lot 
of direct hardware calls.  A DOS CAD program works okay.  WP for DOS uses 
Function keys so you cannot use them - it switches terminals on you 
instead.  Something would need remapping (change to vt 11-14 and type chvt 
11), or use WP in X, which I am not going to do - I hate the colors 
instead of underlines.  It won't work right on the MDA monitor either 
because mdacon does not do underlines.  So I continue to work in DOS.

No, except we might again try httpd some day.
