[A lot of ideas on how to set up a "Proxy Server" on a "Big" machine
sending a simplified serial protocol to a "Little" machine.]

This sounds extremely similar to what GraphOn corporation is already
selling with their OptimaX 2000 terminals.  The "proxy" server runs
on a Sun or VAX and talks to their terminal.  The terminal has enough
local smarts to do vector and raster drawing, including bit blits, but
that's about all.
