It appears to be a vp/ix limitation.  If you could persuade vp/ix to send
the appropriate escape codes, xpcterm would be happy to display in colors.
From reading the vp/ix manual and from some experimentation, it appears that
there's no way to tell vp/ix to send color information to a terminal other
than a direct-mapped PC console.  Bummer.
