Does anyone out there in netland have any idea if a serial mouse exists?

To explain a bit, what I'm looking for is a device which would interface
between the terminal and the host, for an upward direction, a character would
be sent for the duration of the movement (e.g. '888888' for an upward move)
and corresponding characters would be sent for the other cardinal directions
(diagonals could be described in terms of up, right, up, right, etc).  A
button would again generate it's own character....

Am I crazy for even considering the existance of such a beast?
