I suppose one solution to this might be to use the VNC protocol to display
an X-terminal screen on an ELKS machine. You really wouldn't want to
run X at 800x600 though 'cause it's been designed for megapixel displays
(1024x768x1) from day one. Also 'cause VNC prefers truecolour displays
the minimum depth is probably 8-bit; as I remember the 1Mb (1024x768x8)
graphic cards were around at about the time of 286 but I don't suppose
they're gonna be that fast ...
NB: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
Of course VNC needs ethernet too and I would expect that to be rather
rare on a machine of that age.
