Sounds like a typical hardware conflict to me. You probably have
a standard comm port on the same address as the modem.
I typically set up systems with the mouse on comm 2 and
move comm 1 to comm3 (change the I/O address) then the modem
fits nicely into comm 1's slot AND the PC can still use the
serial port (now comm 3) if needed.
Of course, a quicker alternative is to manually set the
modem's jumpers as comm 3 or 4. Just make sure that the mouse
is not on the shared IRQ.
