- You could try the color command... B^). You are limited to
- 2 colors displayed at a time though, 1 bitplane limitations.

- I'd say you'd have to buy a chunky graphics card since X
- absolutly HATES bitplane based graphics systems and you take major
- performance hits trying to hack around this.
-
- Alternately, buy and X terminal or a PC + xterm software. The
- cheepest solution is probably to get a PC with X terminal software
- and a network card.
