In attempting to install a PNP ISA Supra Modem I have been having problems. It takes IRQ 5 away from part of my SBLive and thereby disabling SB16 Emulation (often used for speech in games). I am not using COM2 for anything and would like to get the modem to take its resources (IRQ3). I try to disable COM2, remove COM2 etc and then reinstall the modem hoping it will take these reasource but no luck.
Apparently I have no idea what I am doing.

My computer currently has a modem, a network card, sound card, pci parallel port card, and agp video card. All of the irq's are in use, but I do not use COM2 for anything.

Help

currently i get everything to work by just letting the SB16 be disabled and suffer

Remove the modem and Com 2 from device manager, restart, and disable Com 2 in the BIOS settings.
