What does network-transparent mean?
If it means "emit curses codes so that everything works
inside your xterm" then sorry, that can't happen: they're
graphical interfaces.
If it means "if you're on some other machine and have
X forwarding set up right, then a new window pops up
on your screen" then devdraw *is* network transparent.
Either way, the situation is no different than if the programs
linked directly against the X library.
