Maya like camera movements in 3D Max?

Is this even possible? One of my favorite things about Maya was the ability to control the camera using only the ctrl, alt, and 3 mouse button keys, and I'm wondering if there is any possible way to get Max to work like this...

    those buttons are all I use to move the cam in max,

    middle mouse: grab and move view up/down left/right
    ctrl+alt+middle: zoom in/out
    alt+ middle: rotate
    shift+rotate/move cam- constrain to first axis you move on

    are there any other controls you refer to?

    In max 7 you can fly the camera around using the w,a,s,d keys like in quake and the mouse button to look around. Check the help file for the button name, its one of the ones botton right hand side that has a 'more tab'... drag it down to get the little feet icon.
