OK!  If you can read the jumpers, FORGET the odd ports and IRQ setting. 
Windows doesn't like that.  Set the modem to COM1 - IRQ4, DO NOT install
the modem yet, boot to CMOS and set the onboard COM1 - IRQ4 to COM3 - IRQ4,
then power down and install the modem.  This gives COM1 for the modem and
COM2 for the mouse (if yours is serial), and you still have COM3 for
whatever.  You CANNOT do this while the modem is inserted, as the conflict
will prevent the board from being set properly.


     Good luck...  M.
