I have been working with a GraphOn-250 terminal for a few weeks and have
been trying to use it for an X-window display.  Here is the real scoop!

The terminal does NOT have a builtin X server.  The server resides on the
Unix system.  The server must be modified to send out graphic output to the
terminal over the serial lines instead of to the video display.  This requires
the X-server source.  Graphon has an unsupported set of subroutines that
anyone can try to combine with the server code to get the desired results.

I have been sucessfull in doing this for version X10.4 however there
are some bugs.

GraphOn has is planning to support Version 11, but it is NOT yet available.
