Just because you are using the default com ports does not mean that there is not an error.
If they are both default to com 1 - big problems. As for the diamond stealth boards; they
use the address typically employed by com 4. So this should not be a problem. Your best bet
is to make sure that the mouse is on com port 1 and your modem is on com port 2 and
further, that they have the correct interupts and addresses. To disable com 4 Look in your
system.ini file for where the irq's and base addresses for com port 2 are and then type the
same thing for com 4, but set disable. It should look something like this:

                       com4irq=disable
               							 com4base=disable

I would avoid putting the modem on anything but com 1 and com 2 because some tcp/slip
programs (like mine) will not recognize com 3 or com 4 modems and irq problems are likely!

good luck,
