        The trick will be to get your mouse to recognize com3 or com4.
        If it's driver supports this, you should have no problem other
        than setting the switches/jumpers on your serial card and
        assigning interrupts.  I THINK you could get by with using the
        same interrupt on both modems since you will only be using one
        at a time.

        There is a program, TESTCOM.ZIP, which tests modem presence,
        IRQs and function of the modems and ports. Pretty handy.
