Somewhere around 1994, I used to dial into the university's terminal server using a Wyse 370 and a 9600 baud modem. (Note, this was not PPP or SLIP providing TCP/IP. You had to type the atdt modem commands directly...) This particular terminal had 64 colors as an extension to the VT100 command sequences. I sent an email to John E Davis asking if he'd be willing to add support for my one off color capability, and he did! Super nice guy, and JED was one of the first things I compiled on every new Unix account I got for several years after that. I was very happy with very colorful source code.
