You never said if your modem is PnP? I guess it's internal if it's COM3.

When you say "I went into the kernal and activated com3 (sio2)" do
you mean ``boot -c'' or edited the config file and rebuilt the
kernel?

My modem (internal PnP) uses sio2 (COM3) on IRQ 9. If you did
``boot -c'' then delete the entry for sio2 in /boot/boot.conf and
see if it will pick it's own IRQ.

Failing that, either disable or change the IRQ for sio0.
