Press RESET immediately, All!
If the ISA modem is set to COM4, it will receive the address 0x2e8,
that is, by bit (devices on the ISA bus are decrypted by the least significant 10 bits):
A0 x\n
A1 x | modem register selection
A2x/
A3 1
A4 0
A5 1
A6 1
A7 1
A8 0
A9 1
Thus, the modem is decrypted by 5 inputs in state 1 and by 2 inputs
in state 0.
The modem also has inputs IORD and IOWR (active level - 0). Connection diagram

extremely simple, made from just wires:
IORQ from Spectrum to A8 modem
RD from Spectrum to modem IORD
WR from Spectrum to IOWR modem
A4 (or A3?) from Spectrum to A4 modem
A8, A9 and A10 from Spectrum to A0, A1 and A2 modem
AEN, A3, A5, A6, A7, A9 modems at +5v.
ALL! The result is a Kondratiev scheme without interruptions!
