Check your modem's manual.  You may be able to assign it to a different 
interrupt, and be able to use the both modems and a mouse at the same time
(in theory).  I'd use the mouse on COM1 or COM2, since that's where most
programs look for it.  Put the modem cards on the different COM/INT.  Procomm
Plus can be configured to use the "different" com/irq.
