I'm not sitting at the machine with the MouseSystems mouse, so I can't give
you my exact set up, but to get it to work, I had to enable either the DTR
or RTS option; MouseSystems mice apparently use hardware handshaking. 

When I wasn't using moused, I put the DTR/RTS option in the X config file. 
When I enabled moused, I took it out of the X file and added -D or -R to my
moused options.

Hope this helps...
