Then you should probably look at upgrading your mice as your choices are
very limited and prices are much higher and some distros (Fedora5) have
dropped support for serial mice entirely. Not to mention that most KVM
devices don't support serial mice and the ones that do are rather more
expensive that the PS2 port versions.
