I suppose that PnP doesn't work well is a known fact. Anyway I rearranged the COM ports - I have mouse on COM2 and modem (not PnP) on COM1. I still wouldn't mind a guess as to why I could not do the reverse (mouse on COM1, modem on COM2). Could this be a BIOS bug or defective motherboard? I've finally figured out the MB manufacturer - PCChips model M571. Hope Windoze NT can deal with this (sort of). Thanks -Glen Mann, a Shredd.
