The goal of TurboVision is to support the many FreeBSD server systems
out there which have no graphics card in them and will never SEE a
graphics card - all their needs, from installation to maintenance, are
handled by a serial console.  If it isn't capable of working with a
VT100 terminal emulator, it isn't capable of serving our needs.
