I don't know if this will help, but I use a Diamond Supra 56K PnP ISA modem, and when I set it up, the docs indicated that if it is at all possible, to turn off the PnP feature on the modem card, and set it to a port that I know to be available, so I opened my box, and set the modem to use COM port #2 (DOS), and then re-configures windoze to use it there, with the added bonus that I now have a serial port to configure in Win95 ( I had to let the card do it before), and the connection is faster there, also, I then had no trouble setting up the modem in Linux-Mandrake 6.0, since I had all the info correct without any guess work. Might be the easiest way to set the modem port on the card, if the card supports this ( there will be a set of jumpers on the card, and you close the one for your desired serial port.) Another thing, is your mouse a PS/2 or a port mouse? If it is a serial mouse, why isn't it in COM port 1? To locate your modem, you can use the statserial command from a Konsole window or command line. There is a man page on the command.
