SkyPix is a terminal emulation written by Michael Cox of CVI Teleproductions. 
It is used on the BBS program he wrote (SkyLine BBS) to transmit graphics and
sound over the modem.  It is reasonably fast, and it can be used to make a
menu where the BBS USer clicks on a BBS option on the screen with his mouse
and that option is selected - ALL OVER THE MODEM.  You might be able to find
SkyTerm, a terminal program he wrote that implements it, or the latest version
of JRComm, which also supports SkyPix.  It uses ANSI-type commands, ending
with an exclamation point; for example:

<ESC>[1;x;y! Sets the pixel at the specified X and Y coordinate to whatever
color is in Pen A (this was taken directly out of the SkyLine manual), where
<ESC> is, obviously, the ESCAPE key.

I hope this helps.
