subject: modem conflicts

-> I have two SupraFAXmodem 288 and 4 com ports.  I can't get the 2nd
-> modem to work on either com 3 or 4.  It does work on com 3 but then
-> the mouse dont work on com 1.  Does anyone know why?
Normally, com1 and com3 share IRQ 4.  If you have a mouse on com1, and
want to use a modem on com3 (AND already have another modem on com2),
you need to change the IRQ for the modem/com3 to 5 or 7, and make
sure you don't have anything else using that IRQ (like a sound card).
