Paul;
You may have to disable your serial (com) port(s) in bios if your not using
them.
 you may have already done this, as you mentioned
you entered bios and changed settings.
If not, this will free up an IRQ for your modem.

software etc i had a look in system devices and to my horror there was a
yellow circle with a black question mark. Delving deeper into this, the
error message that was displayed was "V9X HAM 1394V this device cannot find
enough free resources that it can use (code 12)".

even changing settings in the bios but to no avail. The microsoft knowlege
base proved fruitless as did my computer literate friends who all suggested
what i had already tried.
