Make sure the modem isn't set for the same interrupt as the com3 device; FreeBSD doesn't allow interrupt sharing for sio devices. Also, make sure that FreeBSD correctly understands what interrupt is being used for each device. The kernel configuration editor you get when you boot with the -c flag will allow you change IRQ settings for the sio devices. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
