Here's the problem:  ASCII text isn't very information-dense.  To get a
useful display, you'd need something like 120x60 with colour, which most
character displays can't do.  If you have a character display, you
wouldn't be able to use this client; if you have a GUI display running
a terminal emulator, then you can just as well run a local GUI client or
run it on the server and use your local X server for the display.
