Hi eendoe:
When I used a serial port mouse on a Win 3.1 PC, I use the 3.1 mouse drivers. Run setup.exe in windows directory & use a Logitech or Serial mouse setting, I think one of those should work.

Good luck.

There may be a compatible driver available in Windows 3.11 if you have the setup disks available.

From the Main Group in Program Manager, select Windows Setup...Options/Change System Settings

Try using Mouse Systems Serial or Genius Serial or perhaps Logitech.

If you can't access Windows Setup from within Windows because you don't have mouse support, from a C:\ prompt type

cd windows (enter)
setup (enter)

You can make the changes from there.

Alternatively, There is a MS mouse driver, which works fine with my serial mouse here:

http://www.powerload.fsnet.co.uk/win3x.htm

This file needs to be expanded by running it and the driver is then installed by running the setup file. Both these processes can be carried out from within Windows or from a DOS prompt.
