  Both my partners have internal modems and pads (one is a Wacom, the
other is not).  Originally, we accomodated the Wacom pad by using a
PnP modem configured for COM3 and IRQ12, but since then we've gone to
the same solution on that machine as on the other -- use a PS/2 mouse
instead of a serial mouse, freeing up the other COM port.

  [I would be very surprised to see a PIII system without a PS/2
mouse port, and one of the local electronics surplus places routinely
has IBM or Microsoft PS/2 mice for under $10.]
