Suddenly can't use the mouse.
I have a unix sco system and I tried to install a modem. When I put in the modem, the mouse stopped working. I took out the modem and the mouse still doesn't work. I have checked the connections but don't know what else to look for. Any suggestions on how to get the mouse to work again and what can I do to get the modem not to disrupt the mouse?

Is your modem plug'n'play?
If it is can you set it to non plug'n'play mode?
Did you try to change the IRQ in SCO or physically on the modem (i.e. altering a jumper on the board)?
Can you change the IRQ of your mouse (Presuming it's serial) in
the BIOS settings?
Hopefully with the answers to these questions I may be able to suggest something that will work.
