COM1 (your mouse) and COM3 (your Modem card) share the same IRQ (4).
So since they cannot work together like that it is not usually a good
idea to configure a serial port (modem) to COM3 period; that IS possible
if borrow IRQ5 which is normally dedicated to LPT2 (second parallel port)
if (1) you don't have a second parallel port; (2) your modem card
supports configuring the combination COM3 (\x3e8) and IRQ5; and (3) your
bios supports four simultaneous serial ports (E.g., some Ambra's, AT&T's,
and PS/1's only support two, and combinations like COM3 IRQ5 are not supported).
Reconfigure the modem port to COM4 and make sure COM2 software isn't loaded
while you're using COM4 (and conversely). Also suggest that you use the
the two MS-Kermit (script) subcommands: SET COM4 \x2e8 3
SET PORT COM4
if SET PORT COM4 does not work by itself.
