I have several questions to anyone out there who will listen:

Will Win3.0 let you use a mouse on Ports 3 or 4?  If so, how?

If win3.0 won't let you configure the mouse on Ports 3 or 4,  what
is the correct configuration for moving other Com devices (such as
Modem's) to COM 3 or 4 and what should the addresses and IRQ's be?

Can Win3.0 be configured to work with a FOSSIL driver?  If so, how?

I guess to wrap all this up, my system is as follows:

386 w/4 meg Ram & 80meg HD (not a PS/2)

Logitech mouse

UDS V.32 9600 modem

Best Data Products 1200 modem (seems to be only configurable for 1 or 2)

I would like to be able to run both modems with the mouse under windows 3.0
with a BBS system which requires a FOSSIL driver for Communications I/O.

Thanks,
Steve Ginn
