        This issue does not appear to be very interesting to the group.
Possibly someone  will take pity on me (& jkreska@ftw.mot.com)  and explain
how one obtains the SLIP files and configuration which my system appears to
lack. I've already pressed the question with the inhouse people at UC
Berkeley and they directed me to your group.
        Another (possibly more credible) problem - I have a ATI Ultra Plus
video card with 2MB ram and a bus mouse which is connected to the video
card. When we were trying to configure X windows we could not figure out
how to address the mouse since apparently it is not located at any of my
com ports. I have X windows running with a two button MS mouse on com0
tty00 - which is does the job - but I would prefer the 3 button
functionality of the ATI mouse.
