I have  read some people's accounts on how to best allocate the IRQ's to 
various  devices, but being inherently lazy I usually just move the card and

I tried every available slot to no avail but digging through  old parts, I 
found another modem (from another old Compaq) and connected on the  first try! 
My curiosity has gotten me on the whole IRQ subject so I think I'll  see what 
info Google can come up with.
 
   Thanx for the replies Bill and William!
