    Since I've installed this, I've not had any issues with it. It "just" works. Be aware that you must use a Sixel aware telnet client to see the Sixel options. Netrunner will not work. What I've tried is both Syncterm and Icyterm. I can highly recommend this door!

    I guess that would explain this line in the feature list:
