It's not easy even if you make appliances and sell a good number of their NICs. At a company where I worked a few years ago, we had a performance problem and it took us months to get any datasheets. When that didn't help, it took us about the same amount of time to get errata. It is not fun. --dh

GuruPlug display is actually very practical and usable with the stock linux and drawterm. if graphics was natively supported under Plan 9, it too would make a nice terminal. I've noticed that Android based pads and tablets are getting cheaper -- about $150 for some. It might be interesting to port
