  In short, yes at least two modems should be possible, and likely four.  But
  four will depend on your software.  Com1 and Com 2 should be absolutely no
  problem.
   
  Do you have a serial mouse?  If so this would likely be Com1.  Worst case,
  buy a busmouse and assign it to say, IRQ12.  Com1 could then be one modem 
  on IRQ4, and Com2 could be the second on IRQ3.  This can often be done with
  the modems on different IRQ's but some software doesn't know about anything
  else but IRQ 4 and IRQ3.  Also I've been told never to skip a comm assignment.
  That is never assign Com4 without something on Com3.  I'm not sure I believe
  this, but it is plausible.
