I have had problems with its screen redrawing. If I get a full page of
output before it starts to draw it, it seems to just not bother doing
any output. Quite often I do a ls -l but all I get out is the next
prompt, or a few lines of output if I am lucky.  I only have 4megs on a
Sun 3/60 (and NeWS 1.1) so NeWS runs pretty slow (it pages to death).
When I rlogin to a faster machine its quite easy to get large backlogs
in output. vi on the remote machines also messes up quite frequently
(probably due to same reason). I have not tried toggling the
fast-redraw option yet, but it would be better if psterm worked properly
in the first place.

Overall it looks good, but still a little buggy.
