Microsoft Mouse Driver Version 9.00.

The message it leaves me when the mouse isn't connected is:

"Microsoft Mouse not found, try another 9 or 25 pin serial port and/or check
for interrupt conflicts with other peripherals.  Type Mouse /f to check all
ports."

As I said, I don't know if that means the software tried to install but
didn't when it couldn't find a mouse, or if it's installed but understands
it's not controlling anything.  In either case, it doesn't block the modem,
at least on my computer.
