Speaking of serial graphics protocols, does
anyone on the list have a
device that supports NAPLPS ("nap-lips" - North American Presentation
Layer Protocol Syntax)? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAPLPS>
Well, any computer that talked to Prodigy before it became "just
another ISP" was a NAPLPS device. Having lived with early (1200bps)
web connectivity, I used to strongly wish NAPLPS (or some other vector
drawing) capability had been built into Mosaic (or HTML for that
matter). Receiving large line drawings or block graphics as
interlaced GIFs was painful.
