Hi,

I have a 386 with two serieal ports and an internal modem configured as
com3.  After setting the interrupts (as determined from infoplus and my
bios)  in my windows/system.ini I can now use "terminal" or my non-windows
comm package from within windows.  The one gotcha is that the mouse refuses
to work as soon as I access the modem.  I tried to glean the answer from
the FAQ list in comp.windows.ms but have had no luck with it.  Anyone have
any ideas?
