No.  In the future: who knows?

Not that I know of.  The ADB mouse support in the IIgs can support two
buttons, and provides this information to the event manager, but I've
never seen a two-button mouse or any software that would support it.

A three button mouse is not supported, unless it was implemented as a
custom device.

I'm sure others will respond to this.  The main two are:

ftp.cco.caltech.edu
grind.isca.uiowa.edu

Grind has a mirror of Caltech, but supports very few anonymous FTP
users, so it is rather hard to get on.  Grind also has a telnet login
facility that lets you download files from the FTP server.
