Stick, yes, T42 has this, and the middle button is for scroll, I don't know
what it is called though.   I want to use this scroll button as the ordinal
middle button.

By the way, I tried to use marsv through this wireless LAN (56M),
and found it's fast enough to show them to students while in
my lecture...  The remaining problem is it does reach only short
distance.☺   Our construction has square shape like below:

A=====
  ||        ||
  ||        || B
  =====

It doesn't reach from A to B in the same floor, sigh.

Sorry, I haven't payed any attention to WinXP, because I'd never
believed I may be one of that user.☺   Now, I'm forced to...

sorry, I did not read fast enough. These were linux instructions ...

maybe there is a way in linux to get 3 buttons + glide, but I annoyed with 
the glide pad anyway and turned it off.

i don't believe you have to do that.

in the xp registry a handful of times.  search the
archives.

turn off the damned mouse pad (in the bios). you get middle button back 
then.

Inspired by your suggestion, I searched into WinXP mouse setting,
and found the way to make scroll function off.   It solved my problem.
Now I can use scroll button as middole button.

Thanks a lot!

In T42, the third button is working as it is expected with the default
setting.   (I don't like touchpad.☺)

[9fans] drawterm + scroll button mouse on IBM T42

[Kenji Okamoto]

Ok, I'm going to use drawterm with WinXT on my new IBM T42.

My notebook is using wireless network (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG),
and I got success to login through this device to an our CPU server.
Then, I ran acme, yes, no problem... However, I have no middle button
control.   How I can do this.

I have two kinds of point device, (1) IBM pointing rod with two buttons+scroll
buttons and (2) two button mouse pad.   I'm using the first device.

Thanks in advance.

By the way, I suppose this wireless device is not supported yet.  Am I correct?
