2E8-2EF is used by com port 4.I suggest going into Setup and disable com port4 or change it's I/O address.Or,If the ISA modem card has Jumpers change it's setting to use a different I/O address,otherwise run setup utility that came with the modem tochange it's settings.
moving the card to an adjacent isa slot may resolve the problem,possibly.

You can force the modem to accept another com port by going to the modem properties and changing the com port to one that is open,if the modem has jumpers or switches on it refer to your manufacturer hand book to reset the jumper to indentify the port you want to assign the modem to.

THANKS FOR HELP, THERE IS ALSO AN OPTION IN THE JUMPER SETTING TO CHANGE IT TO PLUG AND PLAY. THE ONLY WAY I WILL DO THAT IS LINUX WILL STILL RECONIZE IT.
