No mouse after Red hat 5.1 installation

[ury]

Hi!
:-)
Beginner with Linux and can't seem to get my serial microsoft mouse to work, no matter what IRQ or I/O address.
I got an old dual Pentium I motherboard with COM's on ISA controller card. I think maybe the ports may not been installed. Jumpers checked and IDE part of card respons well.
What to do??

Dumb question, but hey.

Are you sure that its looking in the right place/dev/ttyS(0/1/2/3), and not /dev/mouse, which could by symlinked to /dev/psaux or something

Wow, what a smart answer, now I exactly know what to do.
Linux: Redhat ver 5.1 forgot to mention.
I'm a fresh beginner, anyone else, help??
