If you don't need the IRQ for the video card, you could disable it in
the BIOS to free up the interrupt exclusively for the modem.

The only reason I've found for assigning an IRQ to a video card is
for PnP monitors. I guess there must be more, but I can't think of
many occasions when a video card needs to talk back to the
motherboard.
