is your modem isa or pci?if its pci then you should be ok. your bios
should not idenitfy pci devices in the same irq. if its isa, then try
changing the modem's irq, either by isapnp , if supported, or by its DOS
configuring disk. Also, you can try using the bios setup to make it assign
a diferent interrupt to the usb controler.

My modem is a pci but inspite of this bios put three devices on irq 3.  Bios 
setup allowed reserving an irq for isa.  I tried this and all three devices 
moved to the same new irq.  I disassembled the machine and moved the modem card 
to a different slot.  This solved the problem.

 The User Manual to my motherboard listed which IRQ that each PCI
 slot used.  So, when building the system, I had to be careful to
 not to unnecessarily share IRQs.

My motherboard manual lists only options to reserve irq's so pci cards can't 
use them.  Tried this and all the conflicting cards moved to the same new irq.  
Gave up and disassembled the case and moved the modem card to a different slot. 
 This worked.
