	The AT&T mouse is a Logitech Bus mouse.  I am using a
	Microsoft Bus mouse under OpenLook, but as the MS mouse
	only has 2 buttons, and OL wants 3, there are some problems.
	The trick to using MS mice is to make sure it is the old
	style bus card with the uart onboard.  The newer "soap"
	looking inport one will not work.  It has a specialized
	chip on the card that UNIX don't like.  I have mine set to
	interupt 2.
