I thought that was terribly cute.  The other option is talking
PPP over the USB.  You'd be tethered, but you could at least
talk.

Yeah, that's what I was figuring too.  Even at a 5x7 font, you can't
do better than about a 50x30 character screen.  If all the graphical
elements in wm are shrunk down to somewhere around 10 pixels,
it might just be possible to put a shell window that's almost usable.
Acme in a single column might even work.  Of course, I'd really
like to have more resolution, but this is a start and who knows
what we might see in a second generation.
