I'm looking for a little advice on to change, if possible, where the input fut
from my mouse goes to my Amstrad PC1512DD.  I've figured out that it's
currently going to COM1 (presumably a la the MOUSE.COM driver that came with
the system), but that's giving me a headache when I want to use it concurrently
with my modem (external, U.S. Robotics, which uses, you guessed it, the serial
port in COM1).

I freely admit to a large amount of ignorance in these matters (if that's not
already obvious :^)).  Any help that anyone could give me would be greatly
appreciated, either to redirect the mouse or the modem so that they do not
conflict.

Replies by e-mail, please--I hardly ever have time to read news lately
(sniff!).  I will be happy to summarize if so requested.

These opinions are my own.  If *you* can make any sense out of 'em, do
with them as you please.
