Several graphics call are used. However there is direct blitter code
in the server to deal with graphics that the amiga graphics is not
designed for.
The product that is shipping now is monochrome only and compares very
favorably with a sun3/50 run X11

Ethernet is only needed for network access. The server and the supplied
clients run fine without a network card since they communicate via an
amiga message passing scheme.

The libraries and files needed to build clients on the Amiga are still
being worked on and are not yet available externally.
