That is going to depend upon your motherboard hardware, most likely.

Understand that in most cases the NIC and hard drives are usually going to be the most demanding interrupt resource competitors to the Zap hardware, and that the Zap hardware cannot often operate properly (i.e. for fax) being a second-class citizen to those.

If you have some other hardware that is equally as demanding then you will need to also account for that.

Generally you can adjust IRQs in the motherboard BIOS or by rearranging the PCI cards.

Indeed, the IRQ priority of my card is low. Sorry for being lame, but
does that have to be set in BIOS? Are there any "best practices" for
choosing an IRQ or I can set it to any free number?

  
I would start with IRQ sharing.  Make sure that your Zap hardware isn't 
sharing an IRQ.  Secondly, you want to have it with a fairly high 
priority, probably before your network card and your hard drive 
interfaces (meaning if your NIC is on IRQ 11 then *don't* put your Zap 
on IRQ 12.  It should be on 9 or 10 or something.)
