Corey, While it appears from your post everything is correct, please confirm that the modem and mouse are using different IRQs. ttyS0/ttyS2 and ttyS1/ttyS3 share IRQs. Since you only have this problem with X (which activates the mouse) you probably have IRQ contention somewhere. Try installing GPM so you can use the mouse in a virtual terminal. If the problem reproduces itself there as well, you will have confirmed the IRQ contention. Hope that helps, David A.
