I am using the Logitech Series 9 serial mouse with an ALR 20386DT.  Under 
DOS, I have no problems!  I load the driver with the following command:

\mouse 2 bon 9600

There is a known problem when going from DOS to either OS/2 or Unix.  For
some reason the DOS driver leaves the serial chip in such a state that
Unix and OS/2 will not recognize the serial port at all.  Thus when I switch
from DOS to one of these others OS'es, I always power off my system.  I then
have no further problems.  There is no known problem going the other way.
