Subject: Logitech mouse on COM1; getting it to work in DOS box

I am trying to bring up os/2 1.3 on a system that has a serial Logitech mouse.
If I define the serial port to which the mouse is attached as com1, and
use the PC mouse (PCMOU$01) driver, I get a useable mouse under OS/2.  However,
when I go to the DOS box and fire up Windows (3.0), the mouse is unusable.
Also, there's an error message during boot; as OS/2 reads the line in
Config.sys "Device= c:/path/com01.sys" (the one that loads the serial port
driver for DOS), it says that it can't open com1, because it's either
not available or in use by another device.  (This line is after the lines
in Config.sys that load the mouse driver).  

Can anybody suggest a fix to this problem?

		Thanks,

			Adrian
