Hi,
Just about any external mouse will work, you need to look at your ThinkPad
and check the ports. Old ThinkPads don't have USB, some newer ThinkPads
don't have PS/2, so take that into consideration when shopping.
If you really want an IBM option, the mice for personal systems are listed
here:

As far as connecting to the internet (I think that's what you're asking),
the typical places to try are your local phone company or cable company,
although depending where you live, other options might also be available.
Personally, I have cable modem at home, it works great and is fast. Prior
to that I used Bellsouth dialup, with a second phone line so that I could
have a 24-7 connection, it worked ok, but was slow. DSL might also be an
option in your area, it's also faster than a dialup connection. I wouldn't
recommend aol or msn as they are difficult at best to get to work under
Linux.
