Hola,

        Ok, here is the deal.  Windows 3.0, mouse com1, serial com2,
    have serial card...  I want/need to install an additional serial
    card to attach an external modem to it.

    com1: irq4   Mouse..
    com2: irq3   Serial Connection (to a Vax)
    com3: irq4   Serial Connection (to a modem, dial-out)
    com4: irq3

        I need to be able to use my mouse, and both serial ports !
    What can I do in this situation ??  I know I could go buy a
    new mouse with its own card, and/or internal modem.  Is there
    anything else I can do ??  And, could someone clue me in as to
    WHY there is this current irq mapping ???  Can it be hacked ?

Bob
