Enhanced IDE cards disable Modem

 I have recently upgraded to a VESA 486 DX2 66 Green Board and for a 
 while was using a standard IDE 16 bit I/O card. By altering the jumpers 
 on the i/o card I had 3 comms ports at 03F8 02F8 and 02E8 when my Zoltrix
 FM-VSP144UI voice/fax modem was installed on comm2 irq3 02F8 and 
 everything worked fine.

 I then bought a PT 627B Enhanced IDE card and it works fine with DOS 
 and Windows 3.11,  _BUT_  I cannot get my modem to work with it despite 
 trying all logical jumpers variations to disable comm2 or reset comm2 
 to comm4. 

 COMIT /dc (diagnostics) then reports more than 1 card on comm2 and 
 modem will click but not respond to AT commands.

 So I bought another EIDE card, a PT628B and I still have the same 
 problem. All reasonable and logical jumper settings have been tried 
 without success.  

 Any suggestions on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
 TIA
