1. What device (/dev/ttyS*) entry is your modem on?
2. What device is your mouse on?
The mouse problem sure sounds like an IRQ conflict. That could be causing
the conection to be slow as well -- it's at least likely enough to check
before you spend time doing anything really tricky.
Assuming you are using symlinks for modem and mouse, you can check for
conflicts by running these two commands:
setserial /dev/modem
setserial /dev/mouse
If both report the same IRQ, then you have a conflict. Fix it by moving one
of the devices.
(BTW, this assumes you are still using kernel 2.0.something. I understand
that 2.2.x has a new way of resolving IRQ conflicts that permits sharing of
an interrupt.)
