Y? M2 you mean? Well, generally, set the networkcard to another IRQ. That will keep IRQ 3 free for the modem. Search with google for a configuration program for your networdcard. This is usually a simple DOS setup program, which allows you to change the card's settings. Set the card to a free interrupt, and you will be able to use you modem and networkcard.
