Logitech TrackMan..?...anyone...?

[WA7KGX]

I've used a TrackMan with SCO Xsight.
Except for one detail, it interfaces the same as a 3-button
Logitech serial mouse.

The Trackman apparently needs to be powered up for a while
before it will accept an initialization string.  I have been
able to get the Trackman to work by doing:
	sleep 9999 >/dev/tty1a&
before starting a server.

Unfortunately, my favorite server freaks out when this
is done.  Your mileage may vary.

A long term solution would be to keep the mouse powered up all
the time, or change the mouse handler to increase the delay between
powering up the mouse and sending the initialization string.
