Bzzzt! Misinterpretation. I was one of many people who wrote in suggesting
they be used as _terminals_. However, if there is a good 286 VGA X terminal
program available, I don't know about it (and it would probably be expensive
and slow). In my mind they are useful as text only - well, maybe some
Tektronix graphics emulation like Kermit gives you.
