Sounds like you've got the 'mouse' tty in the XF86Config set to whatever
you're using as the modem... Which probably causes the device to get very
confused when you run X.

Alternately, if you specified /dev/mouse or something, possibly the symlink
that is /dev/mouse is incorrectly pointing to the same device you're using
for your modem, instead of pointing to the mouse.

Don't forget that cua0 is com1, and cua1 is com2, etc, BTW.

Later,
