how can i remake /dev/com2

/sbin/mknod /dev/com2 c 8 2
	or
/sbin/mknod /dev/com2 c 8 1 (this seem possible since /dev/com2 is com1)

both dont seem to work...
the first gives : write: operation not supported by device (or similar)
the second seems to talk to DOS com1, ie my mouse. i figure
this cause when i wiggle my mouse, it puts junk on the screen
under tip.
