I have a couple of good questions.  I haven't gotten the thing to work
right yet.  I start a tcp/ip session to a host.  On the host I type
xterm -display myxterminal &  and the vt1000 crashes.  I thought it might
be a font problem.  The manual doesn't say clearly but it looks like fonts
are transfered via tftp on request if you set up the font paths properly.
The other question I have is what is the proper font path?  The manual is
extreamly vague.
