Being able to use multiple modems

I have a system which I support (currently a Win 95 system) and it needs the ability to use two modems. The first modem (external) connects via Comm port 2 and has an IRQ setting of 3. The second (internal) is on Comm port 4 and has the same IRQ setting of 3 which is causing it to conflict (therefore, the system does not see it).

The external modem has it's own phone line, and works with a specific piece of software that waits for orders to be called in. There is now a second piece of software that has the same purpose (and is designed to use the internal modem - and has it's own phone line).

I do not believe I can make it work under Win 95 (and the IRQs). I have permission to upgrade it to Win98 or WinME. How can I make these two modems work simultaneously in the same machine?

Anyone? Thanks in Advance!
