	Both ZTerm .8 and MicroPhone II v3.0 (due to ship this month) both
support the standard ANSI color sequences (ZTerm also offers the IBM Character
set as well).  Neither product, however, offer support for a 'terminfo' setup
as that sort of thing is far from 'mac-like'.
	On the other hand their is a program from Mainstay software called
Telescape which allows you to create 'termcap/terminfo' setups for any type
of text-based terminal you want BUT is out of date and therefore knows NOTHING
about color.
	Hope this helps...
