ttyS0 and ttyS3 are IRQ 3
ttyS2 and ttyS4 are IRQ 4

I keep the modem (on ttyS4) separate from the mouse (on ttyS0) to avoid
conflicts.

The X10 controller on ttyS3 should not be a problem.  It uses a software
UART.  It *never* sends anything on its own.  It only sends something in
response to a query from my machine.  That only happens once a week in the
early morning hours to sync the controller's clock.  It also happens
occasionally to update the controller to adjust for seasonal changes.

All this works fine when X is not running.  This is why I'm puzzled to
what X is changing.

Any other ideas?
