The AT&T bus mouse is the Logitec bus mouse. It is furnished with
the standard Logitec driver (an old version) that works for both bus
and serial mouse. Just use your Logitec driver instead, or use the
serial mouse parameters with the AT&T driver (if the version isn't
too old for what you are doing).
