Michael--thanks!
I had the same problem getting the mouse, BMI, and my modem working
together. I also tried your suggestion, and for some reason it would
not work on my machine. Eventually, I discoved that my mother board
had a small PS/2 mouse port covered up by a part of my case, so I got
out the snips and altered my mini-tower case a little, and made use of
that mouse port. Everything works great now. What led me to do this
was that I found a sentence in my motherboard manual that indicated
that all 4 com ports could be used but not simultaneously.
It's not every day that you solve a computer communications related
problem with tin snips :-)

I have exactly that configuration, and all three work fine. Here's the
way
I have it set up in Win95:
BMI: Com 1 (03F8 IRQ4)
Mouse: Com 2 (02F8 IRQ3)
Modem: Com 3 (03E8 IRQ5)
The only problem you might have is with the modem, as IRQ 5 is sometimes
desired by a soundcard, which could cause a conflict, if it can't be
reset
to something else.
