The PnP bios often has a really tough time trying to figure out where to
actually put devices (i.e. it doesn't always get the "conflict free" or
"standard"  configuration).  Win95 also suffers from the same problem.  If
you grab the Alpha PnP stuff from

ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/incoming/ISA_PnP.May5.tar.gz

you'll be able to hardcode where you want your modem (probably 3e8, 5).
Though this isn't an optimal solution yet, it will get you up and running
without much fuss IMO.
