| 100851 | 2002-11-23 12:39:00 | Hi. In and old 486 im building for a freind as an emergency machine the modem freezes the mouse. As soon as you click connect, the mouse stops dead, then using the keyboard you disconnect the mouse comes back to normal. any ideas? Its a standard serial mouse and the chipset on the modem is rcv336acf/svd. r6759-21 Ive tried several drivers for both. any help appreciated thanks, karz |

| 100852 | 2002-11-23 18:58:00 | Hi Karz Sounds like they are sharing the same resource, either serial port or IRQ. If it is a soft modem then configure it to use a different virtual serial port. the mouse is probably on port 1 so move the modem to 2 or vice versa. Can't tell you how to do that without knowing what OS you are using but a better answer may come up when the world wakes. It's too early on Sunday morning for the real Gurus to be awake..

| 100854 | 2002-11-25 02:43:00 | You have almost certainly got a port address/IRQ conflict. The standard numbers are:port address IRQ COM1 3f8 4 COM2 2f8 3 COM3 3e8 4 COM4 2e8 3 COM1 and COM2 are usually the only ones installed. COM3 and COM4 are usually used for modems (often selected with jumpers on the board) but the IRQ will clash if the wrong selection is made. You will see that the IRQs are shared between COM1 and COM3, COM2 and COM4. So if the mouse is on COM1, don't set the modem to COM1 or COM3. If the mouse is on COM2, don't let the modem use 2 or 4. |
