That should just be
:set mouse=

You should also be able to hold in the shift key while selecting; in
most terminals that tells the terminal to control the mouse instead of
letting the application handle the clicks, so you get the same
behavior as if vim isn't configured to handle them (with the 'mouse'
option).
Also, as far as "*p not working for you... are you by any chance using
ssh between the unix machines without enabling X forwarding?
