Fansi-Console has, and needs, a LOT of command-line switches to set it
correctly for specific hardware.  This means the overall machine, not
just the display adaptor.  For example, the switch /H=1 specifies my
Zenith machine/BIOS (note that Fansi is replacing part of the BIOS, in
addition to supplying an ANSI device driver).  My use of it involves 12
separate switches, some required for operation and some just turning on
options.

As of version 3.0, Fansi is pure commercial software.  It comes with a
250-page User Manual, and an optional Technical Reference manual
that's just as fat.  The shareware versions included a disk copy of the
User Manual, with listings of the switches.  Try poring through that.
