You don't happen to be using the same IRQ for the mouse's COM port and the
modem's COM port, do you ? Because that's exactly what will happen if you
do...
If you've just got 3 COM ports and no network card, etc. you can (hopefully)
put the 3rd port on IRQ 5 (if nothing else, eg. net cards, are using it)
and you'll be fine 8-)
Enjoy !
