Sounds to me like the affected system has the wrong IRQ set up for the
modem's serial port.  The serial interrupts caused by the mouse could
be prodding the serial driver into checking the state of the modem's
UART even though IRQ the kernel was expecting for the modem never
arrived.  See "man setserial" and the contents of /proc/interrupts and
/var/log/messages.
