[net.micro.pc] Helpneeded for 123 port setting

hu@smu (05/17/86)

Hi, I have an IBM PC clone with parallel and serial ports. 
I load a PC mouse driver at the boot-up time and connect the
mouse via the serial port. Now, whenever I use lotus print graph
program, I found that Lotus always assume port #2 is the First serial
port while my other program (such as xtalk) look up for port #1 as
the serial port. As a result, I am not able to talk to my HP plotter
via the serial port. Whenever I direct the printgraph setup manual
to port #1 (which it thinks is a parallel port), the Plotter will be
initiated by will not respond to the following command. If I direct
the setup manual to port#2 (which it thinks is a serial port), the
print graph will  just hanging there asking me to "wait" forever.

Can any one help me in this matter?

Thanks in advance.
