Yes, it was RIP. It was pretty amazing for being vector-based but anything to
do with bitmaps or really detailed screens, even just a logo, was a mess. And
that RIP terminal had its own set of bugs and problems.

Searchlight and MajorBBS always worked a bit better with a RIP compatible
client. But yeah I was never really one to use a dedicated-client. If it had
troubles doing even the most basic of Ansi, I didn't bother calling.

I owe you royalty payments...
