Has anyone done this?  I tried setting the bus mouse port/irq up as another com
port, and, unsurprisingly, it failed (autoconfig never found the port).  Since
it's a bus mouse I can't treat it as just another tty, unfortunately.  Has
anyone solved this problem, or do I get to be the first?  :-)

FYI, it's a Mouse Systems White Mouse, with a busmouse card on irq 11,
unfortunately I don't remember the port address.
