  23. Well, while you may mean that it isn't practical, it certainly is possible.
  24. After all, the port of the XFree86 servers to OS/2 is a console mode
  25. application and it most certainly does use graphics...
  26.  
  27. But, I agree with the basic point that it would require major changes to
  28. OS/2 kermit and is in no way worth it.
