No, nothing; and upon trying the moused command again,
there were no debug messages at all.

This is a "three button" serial mouse. I'll try the
auto -t type.
Yes! But still bizarre. Let's see if I can do it from
an xterm here. Save typing. --yes.
sage# moused -p /dev/cuaa0 -d -f -t auto
moused: PnP COM device rev 1.0 probe...
moused: modem status 0603
moused: alternate probe...
moused: cannot determine mouse type on /dev/cuaa0
moused: port: /dev/cuaa0 interface: unknown type: unknown model: generic
sage#
Does this suggest that there is a modem on /dev/cuaa0? I
thought the modem was yanked weeks or months ago. Does the
status 0603 indicate a bad port, perhaps?
