If you do decide to use another available interrupt for your com4 
(/dev/cua3), make sure you set it properly in your /rc.d/rc.serial script 
then.  Since you said your modem works in windows 3.1, it implies the 
modem does have a correct interrupt, and you look into rc.d/rc.serial for 
the problem.
