Ahhh.. but you miss the point, the mouse port and SIO are not related. SIO 
can define the comm port however you tell it and your modem software can use 
whatever address you declare it to use. You can also use whatever IRQ you 
want including the IRQ the mouse is using as this is a virtual IRQ for the 
software and has nothing to do with any real IRQ in the system. In the 
virtual session for that particular DOS window Telix will "hear" an IRQ. Try 
the following:
Device=C:\SIO\SIO.Sys  (1,3F8,4) (2,Internet:2f8,None:3) (3,3E8,4)    
(4,Internet:2E8,None:4)
And setup telix on com2. Also, is SIO registered? If so, drop Ray Gwinn a 
line, if not, drop him a line anyway and tell him that registration is 
dependent on telix working ok. He will know if telix was written well enough 
to handle the software. Also, will telix use a fossil driver? If so, add the 
device =c:\sio\vx00.sys. 
Also, can telix see com1 and use it correctly?
