Hmmmm...the second button acutally works? I"d be surprised if it works at
all. You'll probably need to download a copy of ADB Parser and run it
under MacOS to determine just how the trackball works so we can support
it. I assume it has a custom extension? Hopefully, we can find its
special handler id and quickly add support.

Try giving rlogin the '-l' switch. Say you want to log in as johndoe on
a machine named joebob. Try this:
xterm -e 'rlogin -l johndoe joebob' &
Hopefully, that'll work for you.

Don't know about that one, sorry.
I hope the other helps, tho.
