Many video cards with S3 chips caused the conflict you mentioned.  Two
solutions:  

    Get the latest S3 drivers -- many manufacturers fixed the problem

   Move modem.  Com2 is a good choice, if you can disable any existing
serial port you have there (assuming its an internal modem).

Check out my modem page for a little more data.
