I use OS/2 Warp on my TP, but I recently installed Win 95 on my
desktop. I discovered that one of Win 95's known bugs is that if you
use Com 2 for a modem, and Com 1 for a mouse, (or vice-versa) they may
conflict. Placing them on Coms 1 and 3 clears up the problem.
Your problems sound like Win95 problems, not IBM TP problems. You
might check out Compuserve's Win95 forum: it has lots of information
about the depressing number of bugs with the current version of Win95,
and what the workarounds are.
