You may have cardmgr setting your modem to, and using an IRQ that is being used by other hardware, especially if you have sound and/or other devices in the machine. In that file you can tell cardmgr what IRQs to use, or not use, to avoid that. You can't specify what it will use if an when it detects a serial port (modem) but you can juggle them to avoid conflicts. If its not already being used, enable it to use IRQ 5 and see if that doesn't help you out.
