Thought provoking.  My experiences with early drawterm were not
promising (NetBSD as opposed to Windows or Linux, the multithreading
is still not entirely adequate), so I use VNCviewer on NetBSD and VNCS
on a CPU server.  Probably masochistic of me, I'll have to try
drawterm once again.

At home, it's worse as I have to use VNCV on my Plan 9 workstation to
access the NetBSD hosts so I have one VNCV session and I do all the
remote work through it.  I guess it's good to get the occasional jolt
and investigate the options.

To be sure, an X server session or, even better, some way of getting
RIO and and X clients to communicate seemlessly would be exactly what
I believe I need.
