Com1 to Com4 are just names.  Configure your internal modem with jumpers to 
be Com3, and Com3 _will_ show up.  IRQs are another story.  If you're using 
IRQ 5, possibly you could use IRQ 7 for the modem.  What's connected to Com2? 
 If nothing, you could disable Com2, configure the modem as Com2, and use IRQ 
3 (the standard IRQ for Com2).
If you use Windows at all, _don't_ skip a comm port (like Com3).  When 
Windows searches for ports, it stops when it finds a "missing" one - Since 
Com3 is "missing", Windows will not find your modem on Com4.
