Hmm....is that because the scroll-wheel interface uses another pin on
the RS232 connector? Never thought about that, never seen that being
mentioned as a potential problem for KVM-configs....

B and C are a bit conflicting in terms of 'mail-client
generation'....if you really mean 'threading' in C, then you use a
fairly recent mail-client (but Majordomo doesn't support it, by not
keeping a reference-line in the header (just like is done in Usenet
postings))....you can't sort a thread if you don't have references
(you can sort by subject of course, but that's a 1-dimensional
thread, by time/date, not forked/splitted when discussions run their
course)
While most mail-(and news-)clients of the last few years should be
able to perform B....
