Plug and Play modems require that the com port they are assigned to be
disabled in the bios so that the modem then becomes the port.  If you have
only one com port in the bios then assign it to com 1 for your other serial
device.  Com 2 and com 4 share the same irq and com 1 and com 3 share the
same irq.  Hope this helps.
