You may get your setup to work if you reserve in the BIOS
the IRQ that you have set on your ISA modem. I'm assuming
that your Sportster is IRQ and Port configurable. I've
not used the Asus but most of the BIOS's will allow you to
reserve an IRQ for legacy (ISA) devices and not have it
available for P-N-P assignment. I'd copy down all your
IRQ usage before re-booting though since Windows may
shuffle your IRQ'a and make something else not work.

my computer's peripherals are in the following slots:

What I'm trying to do is to free up a PCI slot for a
Firewire card.
As I have one ISA slot free, I am trying to install a
USRobotics non-Win
Sportster and then remove the PCI modem.
Win 98SE installed the USRobotics automatically, but serial
mouse froze.
Removing the ISA modem freed up the serial mouse which is
using
COM 2, ITR 3. The PCI modem is using Interrupt 9.
This is an ASUS P2B board.
