I don't know if this will help but my recent experience with a new BX FSB mobo
and the latest BIOS was:
.. to get an internal ISA modem to work I had to go into the BIOS peripheral
setup and set COM2 to Auto
.. to get an external modem to work I had to change Com2 to IRQ 3 Base 0x2f8
This seems to be the equivalent of 'jumpering' the serial card in the old days!
