I had the same problem on my system. Here's what I did to solve it.
In your .bashrc file add the following line, 'setserial /dev/cua2 Irq 5
spd_vhi'
Now, the comport, and irq will be different for you. My mouse and modem
were both sharing the same irq (3), causing the modem only to function when
I moved my mouse. If you need more specific help email me privatly.

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.
