Well, I use vx32 as a terminal for both lguest and remote machines. No
real need for venfi/fossil. For edit, I import; to build etc. I cpu in
an acme window so i get the error stuff.

don't really want fossil/venti on vx32 yet, too slow (I tried it some
time last week). But it's a great terminal, much nicer than drawterm
for me.
