Just wanted to follow up with the simplest answer to this problem.
both /dev/mouse and /dev/modem used the same interrupt. This is
possible because I have an internal modem board and the second serial
port is unused. In fact, both these were symbolic links to /dev/cua0.
Others assumed I couldn't have been this stupid by assuming one was linked
to /dev/cua2, which (apparently) uses the save interrupt as
/dev/cua0.
Anyway, to fix my problem I moved the mouse to my other serial
port and 'ln -s /dev/cua1 /dev/mouse' Then it worked like
a charm.
